In Zen practice, a “critical phrase” like *Who am I?* or *What is the mind?* isn’t meant to be answered. It’s meant to pierce through illusion. Let the question burn through distraction, until only boundless awareness remains. 🔥🧘 #Koan #ZenMeditation #WhoAmI #DirectExperience #Awareness

How much of our identity is shaped by external forces: names, culture, expectations. To live with clarity, we must go beyond what we’ve been told—and begin to discover who we are for ourselves. #Zen #Koan #WhoAreYou #Mindfulness #SpiritualAwakening #TrueSelf https://youtube.com/shorts/ylFqWh3v0zU
Zen teachers use koans to spark awakening—not through logic, but through direct insight. Here's one for you: What is the mind? Sit with it. Let it work on you.

“Who are you?” Through this inquiry, we’re invited to look past names, identities, and fleeting accomplishments to discover the part of ourselves that never changes—the mind beyond thought, the awareness that is always present.#Zen #Koan #WhoAreYou #Mindfulness #SpiritualAwakening #TrueSelf #Meditation #DharmaTalk #Nonduality #Awareness #ClearMind #Dharma https://youtu.be/7lDsR7_CsPk
In Zen, we don’t meditate to get answers—we meditate to break through thought.
This practice introduces the use of a critical phrase, such as “Who am I?” or “What is this?” These aren’t questions to solve—they’re tools to guide you beyond the thinking mind.
Stay with the question. Let it deepen. With focused attention, your mind may open into pure, unhindered awareness.

The koan “What is the mind?” invites us to look beyond language, beyond thought, and beyond opinion. It leads us back to the origin of perception—the awareness that exists before thinking begins.
Through meditation and stillness, Zen helps us clear away the noise and return to this source.

A marvelous collection of koan and anecdotes, each worthy of days or weeks of meditation, reflection, though largely without commentary. Think of it as a workbook or thinkbook in Zen. Invaluable.
