Te-shan Carries His Bundle
from Endless Path Zendo | Roshi Rafe Martin
Recorded on March 17, 2024.In this second teisho on the trilogy of Te-shan koans, Roshi Martin looks at Case 4 of the Blue Cliff Record: “Te-shan Carries His Bundle.” In the previous teisho Te-shan set down the backpack of brilliant commentaries on the Diamond Sutra he’d been lugging around. Here he carries his bundle of monk’s gear and, post-satori, seems hardly to know what to do with it.Selected references:The Blue Cliff Record, Translated by Thomas Cleary and J.C.
