Watch out for the snake!

Allan Marett, sensei explores Xuefeng's Turtle-nose Snake, Case 22 Blue Cliff Record. Here we encounter four great Chinese Zen masters, Xuefeng, Changqing, Xuansha and Yunmen doing a little snake dance together. It’s a lovely case because it shows us both the humour and the insight of these old fellas. Look out for that snake! It might bite you … if you’re lucky.
