About this episode
Through the practice of zazen, we come to see the unruliness of our minds more intimately. In this talk, Zuisei speaks on the arising of “no”— the “not this” aspect of our practice that allows for discernment and the continual practice of turning towards a more ultimate truth.
And after all the “nos”, Zuisei says, there comes a “yes”— an opening to infinite possibility and freedom.
“All of these ‘nos’ are so we can get to ‘yes.’ ‘Yes’ on which not just the future, but this world and every world depends. This is what we’re doing in seshin, nodding our yes’s, so we can get to that final, that incontrovertible yes.”
