| 5/3/26 | Treeleaf Zendo Podcast - Master Tong'an Changcha's Ten Talks of Unfathomable Depth (3) | We continue our examination of the ten unfathomable talks by master Tong'an Changcha, moving on to number three, The Unfathomable Function. The text says: "You cannot rely on looking far ahead to the end of the universe.And why would you tie yourself down to tainted worldliness?Essentially, the miraculous body is not bound anywhere.It is already throughout the whole body, so what other traces could there be?A single efficacious word transcends the multitudes.It is far beyond the Three Vehicles and does not require cultivation.hake off your hands and get away from the sages of all ages.Then your path of return will resemble an ox in the midst of fire."

The first five verses set forth the principles of Sōtō Zen, while the second five are concerned with matters of practice. Thus, taken together, these verses encapsulate the whole teaching of Sōtō Zen." We will explore the second of the ten talks.

The advice is often very practical, covering such topics as how to sit, breathe, what to wear, eat beforehand and what to do on those days when the mind just won't settle down, while other parts of the essay (such as today's portion) are wild, willy and mind wowing as only Zen writings can be!
