Summary: In this inspiring Winter Practice Period Dharma talk, Wendy Johnson uses the koan of the Oak in the Courtyard as a threshold to bring us into the ‘the root system of the great heart, of the great matter.’<br> ‘How we can let the koan soak us in,…for they are love stories, yet, we can love them so much we would never speak of them…’ and also, ‘…we can love them so much that we can never stop thinking of them.’<br> <br> For Program/Series description, please visit <a title="Winter Practice Period 2021 INTRO: Passing through the Gateless Gate" href="https://www.upaya.org/2021/01/johnson-palevsky-rossetter-halifax-wpp2021-intro-passing-gateless-gate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Winter Practice Period 2021 INTRO: Passing through the Gateless Gate</a>.<br> To access the entire series, please click on the link below:<br> <a title="Upaya Podcast Series: WINTER PRACTICE PERIOD 2021: Passing Through The Gateless Gate" href="https://www.upaya.org/2021/02/upaya-podcast-series-wpp-2021-gateless-gate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Upaya Podcast Series: WINTER PRACTICE PERIOD 2021: Passing Through The Gateless Gate</a><br>
