Description

In Autumn Sesshin's Day One Teisho, given on Oct. 2nd, 2021, Rinzan Osho examines The Hekiganroku, Cases 57-59, all of which examine Sosan's Verses of Faith Mind. "The Great Way is not difficult, it only abhors choice and attachment." Choice and attachment are natural, inevitable and necessary aspects of living in the world, and yet when we are caught by them, the fundamental Tao is occluded. How does one live this free from choice and attachment? Joshu responds three times to three monks' inquiries.
