In this opening talk of our 2022 winter retreat Enkyo Roshi sees our gathering as a place of true rest, where we can experience the quiet reality of our lives. She then introduces us to Layman P’ang, the wise and funny Zen master of our study text “The Sayings of Layman P’ang.” She talks about P’ang’s ability to naturally harmonize with what is, and to be careful with words about practice.
