Meeting the Inconceivable | Zen Koans, Dreams & the Creative Life

A Special Transmission Beyond Words & Letters [EP 12]


Listen Later

In this episode, Roshi Allison Atwill offers insight into Zen's signature transmission beyond words and letters.

Telling the story of infamous Japanese Zen Master, Ikkyu Sojun, and his ambivalence toward transmission, Atwill describes how our particular awakening is always tailor-made to the circumstances of our lives. It always comes through the door we least expect, and dissolves whatever sense of separation we've held in place throughout our lives.

Listen to learn more about the nature of awakening and how we are always receiving transmission.

"We are always receiving transmission." - Allison Atwill.
