10am – 12pm Sunday Service – Wes Borden: Hyakujo and a Fox
February 27, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Our Sunday service consists of chanting, two periods of sitting meditation, and a dharma talk.
Today Wes Borden will talk about Case #2 of the Mumonkan – “Hyakujo and a Fox”
This case involves a monk who was asked, “Does an enlightened man fall under the law of cause and effect? The monk answered “No”, and his incorrect answer resulted in his being reborn as a fox for 500 lifetimes. Hoping to escape another rebirth as a fox, the monk consults Zen Master Hyakujo. Hyakujo’s response frees the monk, but will it free us?
