On April 21st 2013, this months Drinking Gourd Practice Period, we listened to the following recording at Underdog Zendo, ending with a group discussion.
“Beyond Pure and Impure.” A Dharma Talk by Rev. Jay Rinsen Weik recorded live at the Buddhist Temple of Toledo on Feb 13th, 2013. This Dharma Talk discusses Denkoroku – Case 50 (Transmission of the Lamp) koan & other related goodies.
Case 50 – From The Transmission of the Lamp
The Ancestor asked him, how will you purify what is not impure from the beginning? The Master worked on the koan for more than a year. Then suddenly with baud realization, he exclaimed; “I’ve beat that impurity!”
Commentary from Keizan;
The wind of the Tao blows far.
It is harder than a diamond.
The whole Earth is maintained by it.
