Dharma Discourse by John Daido Loori, Roshi

This impassioned talk by Daido Roshi packs in quite a bit of teaching - he speaks about koan study, the five kinds of blindness, the different upaya or skillful means of Zen, and the critical importance of bringing our practice off the cushion and manifesting it in our life.

The koan in this talk is titled "Tanxia's Have You Eaten Yet?," which is case 76 of the Blue Cliff Record. This discourse was given at Zen Mountain Monastery.
