In this Teisho, Nyogen Roshi relates the story of his getting lost in what he calls a “hell realm” and connects his experience with the lessons he is taking from The End of Suffering, a book that he has recommended to the sangha. “It’s your head that you’re constantly looking at,” Roshi says. “So long as you’re up in there, blinded behind your eyeballs, you are not dealing with reality. You have to free yourself. You cannot hold a conceptualization of what you think reality is.”
