Valerie Forstman: Zen’s Subverting Impulse: Overturning the One

October 31, 2024

Valerie begins this Halloween night teisho referencing Colleen’s Wednesday Wisdom talk based in part on Kamilah Majied’s book “Joyfully Just.” Colleen invited us to weave wonder, joy, and resilient compassion and creativity into our practice. Valerie quotes “awakening is to follow any one thing through all the way to the end” with joy and wonder. On All Hallows Eve, tradition overturns the boundary between life and death bringing together ancestors living and beyond. Valerie then invites us into Blue Cliff Record Case #15: Yunmen’s A Preaching Overturning Oneness.
