Size of the boat?  Motion of the ocean?

Join in as The Gang investigates Mumon's bold move when he says the 6th Patriarch himself was wrong when he told the men debating some Newtonian Physics that neither the flag nor wind moved: it was your mind that moved.

If a plane's wings are shaped to make the air going over the top move faster than on the bottom, why can they fly upside down??

Welcome to the Sangha.

What’s black, white, and full of holes? According to Boddhidharma, not even the holy truths!

The Gang discusses the first Case of the Blue Cliff Record: the infamous exchange between the Emperor Of China himself and our good old grumpy grandpa, Boddhidharma.

Join in as we discuss why our first Patriarch may have been so laconic in his answer to Wu’s question regarding the highest of holy truths.

As for you, what merit have you brought to this kingdom?

Welcome to the Sangha.

Boddhidharma shows up the Second Patriarch by pacifying his mind with both arms tied behind his back!

In this episode, The Gang discusses this visceral 41st Case of the Mumonkan where Huike (the Second Patriarch) stands, arm cut off in the snow, chit-chatting about his inability to find his mind when he searches.

Join in on this cold night and join in the question: "Let it go?  Let it go?" 

What's brown and sticky?  According to Yunmen, it's Buddha!

This week, The Gang tries scraping back the bullshit behind Yunmen's seemingly cryptic answer when asked by a monk what this "Buddha" is.

Feel free to light some candles, turn on the fan, and drink plenty of coffee to prepare for this (maybe not as gross as it seems) discussion on why Yunmen would call Buddha "Kanshiketsu".
