There is so much suffering going on today and we grab at all kinds of medicines to feel better. Some medicines give us temporary comfort, others relieve symptoms for a long while. And yet, we seldom pause to ask ourselves and explore what is the illness, really? What is the very nature of dis-ease itself. No matter how much medicine we take, even when once problem is gone, another pops up shortly, and the discomfort goes on and on. Is there a way to end this situation completely? Can we go to the root of our suffering, pull it out, and find true comfort and delight in all aspects of our lives?
This wonderful Zen Koan explores the way to pass beyond the entangling vines of our difficulties and move into the light.
