Can we find the most important teaching in Zen (Mu) in indigenous cultures?
In this talk, Sensei Kanko talks about the most important Koan: Joshu's Mu, and discusses how it is related to wisdom and teachings in indigenous cultures. When we start practicing Zen, we often crave appreciation, healing, and community. These needs are particularly strong due to the complex traumas and goal-oriented mindset inflicted on our minds by modern society. This is okay and so human. However, there is also something deeper that both Zen and Indigenous cultures both encourage us to get in touch with. In this talk, Sensei Kanko discusses this most important teaching of Zen and how we can start our journey towards lesser suffering and more connection on our planet and all beings.
Sensei Kanko gave this talk on the 4th day of a Zen retreat in February 2023.
