Dharmatalk: A Koan for the World (2 of 3)
07/13/21 • 30 min
“… join with human beings around the world in unravelling the great, global koan …”
“… Oneness is a property of all phenomena ...”
Description: This talk contains some practical advice for using mindfulness to deal with the global health crisis. Lockdown measures may afford us the opportunity to go deeper into our practice, where we may find the inflexion point between outer circumstances and our internal reactions to them. Once we shift our perspective from one of fear and aversion to acceptance and love, we may join with human beings around the world in unravelling the great, global koan that the crisis represents.
And, here’s a link to our YouTube video of this talk.

“… koan Mu can give us a glimpse of the boundless love that pervades the whole universe …”
“… Whatever we’re not welcoming, that’s our great teacher ...”
Description: Continuing on the theme of uncertainty, this talk considers koan practice as a way of helping us find our true home in a world where nothing is ever certain. We look at how Case 45 from the Book of Equanimity and the famous koan Mu can give us a glimpse of the boundless love that pervades the whole universe. It is a love which is always available in the present moment once we let go of the identification with the self that occludes our awareness.
