These three issues of the Mountain Record are based on Zen’s central teaching on the three pillars: great doubt, great faith, and great determination. Issue 28.4, "The Mind of Inquiry," investigates the pillar of Great Doubt, asking us to look deeply into our own life's questions and into the very mind that questions. Issue 29.1, "Great Faith," challenges us to discover and examine that upon which we place our deepest trust and convictions. The last issue, 29.2, "Great Determination," is a call to what endures within us—to that which perseveres amidst the confusion and difficulties we encounter along the path to realization.
