Dec 21 - 27

Winter, week 1

"This moment is the koan. When practice and realization are without complexity, the koan is this present moment. That which is before any trace arises and the scenery on the other side of time's destruction, the activity of all Buddhas and awakened Ancestors, is just this one thing." --Keizan Jokin
