The Dharma That Has Never Been Spoken: WPP2025 Sesshin Day 2

In this talk from the second full day of the Winter Practice Period Sesshin, Sensei Kodo explores the nature of non-conceptual presence through Case 249 of the Shobogenzo, “The Dharma That Has Never Been Spoken.” Drawing on the dialogue between Priest Nirvana and Nanchuan, he illuminates how our constant commentary and conceptual overlays separate us from direct experience. Through stories of practice and careful examination of ancient teachings, Kodo reveals how ceremonial forms and simple attention can help us drop beneath our running narratives to touch reality as it is.
