WHAT IS THAT SOUND OUTSIDE THE DOOR?

D Allen reviews the basics of the zen meditation and koan stories that we explore in our meetings. In English with Spanish translation by Maggie.

LA GENTE VA A LUGARES SALVAJES EN BUSCA DE SU VERDADERA NATURALEZA

Virginia Filip da una charla sobre la historia del koan que pregunta, mientras estás en lugares salvajes tratando de encontrar tu verdadera naturaleza, ¿dónde está tu verdadera naturaleza?

Turning Toward What's Difficult. D talks about our understandable desire to escape from the heat and the cold i.e. from the dissatisfactions and sufferings that we feel. 

In the koan, A student asks Dongshan how we can avoid the heat and the cold, and Dongshan says, 'why don't you go to the place where there is no heat and cold?' But where is that? we ask. Dongshan replies, 'When the cold comes, the cold kills you. When the heat comes, the heat kills you.' In English with translation by Virginia Filip.
