No teacher

Will considers that Zen cannot be taught. All the ideas we accumulate from listening to talks and reading books are not 'it'. As useful as they are at times, they are the accumulation of just more concepts and ideas. It is only through our great enquiry that we awaken. This teisho, referring to Huang Po and the Brewer’s Lees (Case 53 from the Book of Serenity) was given by apprentice teacher, Will Moon, at Spring sesshin 2024 at Kodoji.
