89 - Killing The Buddha


Listen Later

There is a famous quote in the Zen tradition that says “If you meet the Buddha, kill him”. This quote is attributed to Linji a prominent zen master. What does it mean?

In this episode, I will discuss this koan and dig deeper to see if we can all apply this teaching to our own lives.
