Natalie Goldberg: The Way of Wild Mind




Upaya Zen Center's Dharma Podcast show

Summary: In this Zazenkai Dharma Talk, Natalie Goldberg speaks to case 3 of the Mumonkan, Chüh-chih Raises One Finger. ‘Zen corrects the habit of mind that ‘freezes’ the ‘eureka’ moment…when answering a koan, the mind is like a pearl rolling in a silver bowl. There is no, ‘I got it’ moment. It keeps rolling, that’s the practice of zen, it keeps rolling…The mind is greased.’<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>
