Mumonkan, or The Gateless Gate, is a collection of Zen Koans that serve as tools for awakening beyond conceptual thought.

Each Koan is a riddle or paradox that cannot be solved through logic, pushing the practitioner to leap beyond the thinking Mind.

Just Sitting (Shikantaza) 🪷

In Soto Zen, Shikantaza involves sitting with no object of meditation, embodying pure presence and awareness. 🙏

In Buddhism, Shunyata (Emptiness) doesn’t mean nothing exists. Emptiness means nothing exists independently on its own. Everything is connected. Things and Phenomenon are Empty of their own independent existence. 🙏

The Bodhisattva Vow ☸️

In Mahayana Buddhist tradition, the Bodhisattvas don’t seek Nirvana for themselves alone. They vow to return again and again until all beings are freed from suffering. Compassion is a lifelong path. 🙏🙏

I fear that harm reduction as a sociopolitical ethos is cooked if we can’t sort out intersectionality.

For years I’ve added comments like “it’s awesome but it’s very white, which we need to collectively sort out” to my explanations. I should’ve pushed harder and yelled louder the moment I saw it.

Come to practise for liberation! It isn’t easy to live in accordance with true wisdom, but whoever earnestly seeks the path and fruit and aspires to Nibbāna will be able to persevere and endure.
