How is giving birth or merging with a lover a Buddhist act?
Familiar encounters in novel ways. In this radical talk, Sensei Kanko explores the contours of a Zen life and experience in a warm and novel way. She encourages listeners to think beyond standard masculine ways of understanding Zen with metaphors and stories that have a taste of impermeable sweetness. How can the experience of Mu be like giving birth or merging with a lover? How to see through obsessive spirituality, clinging, and spiritual materialism and consider those things on the path that truly matter?
Sensei Kanko gave this talk on the 2nd day of a Zen retreat in October 2020
