Interview ~ Meeting of Minds
During the retreat there will be interviews—a
genuine meeting of minds—with each of the
participants, senior staff and the retreat leader. In
these meetings both individuals are asked to bring
their greatest compassion, awareness and insight,
with the sincere intention of sharing their
understanding of these teachings. There are really
no masters of Zen! Yet, there is sometimes an
insightful and well-trained teacher who can hold up
the correct mirror. In this mirror we can find
reflected our true spiritual image, our own spiritual
truth and being that is beyond our conceptual ego
view: our “true woman or man of no rank.” The
concentration, meditation, tension, intensity and
intimacy that will be experienced during this retreat
make this special kind of meeting with a teacher
extremely effective at enhancing the inquiry. The
more penetrating the inquiry, the broader and more
profound the realization.
Realization—true awakening—is possible for all of
us when we are ready and willing for it to occur.
Mind to mind, heart to heart, being to being!
