Seeing Beyond

by Nyogen Roshi

What does it mean to work on a koan? “You’re trying to free yourself from the limitations of your egocentric intellect,” Nyogen Roshi tells us in this excerpt from a recent talk. Seeing beyond these limitations requires focus and determination, but the reward is nothing less than liberation from delusion. “You have to kick out the bottom of the black lacquer bucket–time and time again–until the doorway stays open.”
