Mumonkan: Wash Your Bowls

In this Teisho, given on December 6th, 2022 at Chobo-ji's Rohatsu Sesshin, Rinzan Osho examines case number seven from the Mumonkan: Joshu Says, "Wash Your Bowls."  As spiritual practice asks that we set aside our preferences and ideals, it opens us to a shimmering reality that is asking us to care for it. The rigors of long retreat make us ripe for this actualization.
