Two Monks Roll Up the Blinds: Mumonkan 26

What is inner spiritual liberation? What happens when outer social-political liberation is not possible in these times of polycrisis? In this talk, Dr. Kritee explores the path of inner liberation in the midst of overwhelming planetary grief and oppression. It is important that we keep going with our actions for peace at political level, climate sanity, and social justice. But is it wise to cling to our physical wellbeing and derive meaning of life only based on the material and political results of our actions? In this talk, Dr. Kritee explains, with personal examples and stories from Zen Buddhism and other traditions, how we can access a sense of spaciousness that can help us toward inner peace and enable us to keep going despite the uncertainty we are facing in this world. Sensei Kanko gave this talk during the July 2024 half-day sit (Zazenkai). Thank you for listening to the Boundless in Motion podcast.
