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.’
