About this listen

In this early spring talk, Valerie turns to the way of awakening, discovered and explored as this world – in the midst – just as it is. Not-two.

The talk weaves together a cross-section of experiences of homecoming with case 100 of the Book of Equanimity (Shoyoroku). In the case, Master Kaku of Roya receives the student's question and responds in kind: "The essential state is pure and clear; how are mountains, rivers, and the great earth produced at once?"

How, indeed. Can we enter the wonder and embody it to the full?
