Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi - Zen Mountain Monastery, New York, Saturday 10/23/2021 - From Wumen's Gateless Gate, Case 38 - It's Like a Buffalo Passing Through A Window - "The world is but the tail of a buffalo passing through a window."

Each of them are windows into our own barriers, helping us to eventually experience these barriers as empty of any definitive existence.
