As I sat with this koan, I found myself musing on how my internal sieve filters things out, parts of reality I would rather not encounter. I also found myself sinking, sinking, deeply into the sea.

If you are a member of PZI, and would like to have a conversation about your meditation practice with David Weinstein, schedule online for Saturday.

In response to the continued interest in practicing with the vows as koans since the end of our six-week investigation into the pure vows, we are going to offer two, five week, Monday night gatherings to look into the ten remaining vows. Drop-ins and first timers are welcome.
