Just got done with the “Dog Koan” from the mumonkan! I have never thought about the student identifying with the lowly dog.. very interesting.

I love Scarpening The Mind. It is what I listen to every Monday morning in the early hours. It is thought provoking, meditative and interesting. It helps me focus the rest of the week.
