Koans of the Way of Reality: Ta Chueh's "More Wondrous than Nature"
Confusion, the inability to make a decision, pain and suffering: where do they all come from? They have to do with the way we use our minds, because the way we use our minds defines how we live our lives. Many of us come to practice hoping for a fresh perspective, but unless we really practice when we sit on the cushion, we will not cut through our delusions and we will remain entrenched in our habitual patterns. To change our lives, we need to change our minds. If we trust our intuition, we are able to devote ourselves unreservedly to the Way.
