(Norman, from his talk on Case 4, Book of Serenity ) For the first three months of the new year, Norman will be discussing koan practice in his talks and teaching, focusing on some of the 100 cases from the Book of Serenity . Koan study can take many forms, but one way is to use a koan as a guiding theme or metaphor for your practice. You hold the story close to you and call it to mind on your cushion, or in traffic, or in line at the grocery store. You turn it over and around, letting it settle deeply in your mind, learning to trust it, becoming intimate with it, until meaning starts to emerge. Think of all the hundreds of thousands of human minds these small old stories have passed through. How can we be lonely? |
