Teachings from Master Silly Mountain (Han Shan Deqing) This includes the first of Han Shan's Maxims. Why don't we, as Buddhists, go out and convince people to join us? Should we? Would that be effective? Also, what's the deal with impermanence? And emptiness? Let's talk about these things. if you want to support this work by making a donation you can do so by clicking here: paypal.me/danielscharpenburg --- Support this podcast:

Koans! The Wild Fox Koan

Sharpening the Mind ·

2020/08/13

Daniel and Alicia talk about Baizhang and the Wild Fox. I invited my soon-to-be wife Alicia Marley onto the podcast again to talk about the second koan from the Gateless Barrier Collection. This is an odd koan with some magical things going on and the lesson might be a little hard to find. Our conversation ended up taking us pretty far afield from talking about the koan and we ended up asking questions like "is chanting important?" and "Can meditation make you a better criminal?” if you want to

Daniel and Alicia talk about Zhaozhou's Dog. I invited my soon-to-be wife Alicia Marley onto the podcast to talk about the first koan from The Gateless Barrier collection. She has no knowledge of zen koans, so I was wondering if her beginners perspective would help make things clear. In this episode we talk about the title "The Gateless Barrier" (sometimes called The Gateless Gate, sometimes called The Barrier That Has No Gate) And we talk about the Koan that is called "Zhaozhou's Dog" if you want
