Teisho: Valerie Forstman: Where Does the Moon Dwell?

In this Zazenkai talk, Valerie shares the moon's reflection through Dogen's teaching and the awakening verses of Chiyono (Mugai Nyodai) and Nyozen of Tokeiji. Chiyono, the first woman in Japan to receive dharma transmission, awakened when the bottom of her bucket dropped out. A century later, Nyozen awakened by meditating on Chiyono's awakening verse.
** Reference for Nyozen, tlayt.org/the-bucket-without-... not to be confused with Myoren, who also awakened by meditating on Chiyono’s awakening verse.
