There are said to be three requirements for Zen training:

 

1. A Great Root of Faith
2. A Great Ball of Doubt
3. Fierce Determination

 

 

In this podcast:

 

• Faith in the teachings and the lineage, the difference between belief and faith.
• The Buddha’s advice to the Kalamas, fire-walking the test of faith.
• The problem of doubt? A pearl from an irritating grain of sand,
• A determination that moves mountains.
