Gateless Gate, Case 26: Two Monks Roll Up the Blinds
Study the Zen koan, Case 26, Two Monks Roll Up the Blinds taken from the Gateless Gate (aka Wumen’s Barrier).
When we practice working with our minds, we quickly discover the immense impacts our thoughts have on our lived reality. And when we look at this using a Buddhist framework, we come to understand the relationship between mind and reality even more profoundly: that reality itself is really just the minds’ projection.
In this dharma talk, Zuisei draws on the power of the classical Buddhist teachings to help us understand the truth of the saying: “The three worlds (reality) are nothing but mind.”
This talk was given by Zuisei Goddard.
