Buddhadharma

What Stories Do We Allow Ourselves to Hear?

ASK THE TEACHERS • I’m not a renunciate, and I don’t think I should have to be. But I also can’t shake the feeling that the financial aspect of my lay life—the 401(k), the tuition payments (for me and my kids), the mortgage—is at odds with my Buddhist practice, that the two don’t fit. How can I hold both?

The Practice of Wonderment

Words of Encouragement • Dahui Zonggao (1089–1163) was perhaps Chan’s greatest advocate of huatou practice, which he wrote about extensively. Here are some of his words of advice to practitioners.
