Treeleaf Zendo Podcast - Master Tong'an Changcha's Ten Talks of Unfathomable Depth (3)
We continue our examination of the ten unfathomable talks by master Tong'an Changcha, moving on to number three, The Unfathomable Function. The text says: "You cannot rely on looking far ahead to the end of the universe. And why would you tie yourself down to tainted worldliness? Essentially, the miraculous body is not bound anywhere. It is already throughout the whole body, so what other traces could there be? A single efficacious word transcends the multitudes. It is far beyond the Three Vehicles and does not require cultivation. hake off your hands and get away from the sages of all ages. Then your path of return will resemble an ox in the midst of fire." This talk was given during the Treeleaf monthly zazenkai, on May 1st, 2026 For more information, visit treeleaf.org

Treeleaf Zendo Podcast - Master Tong'an Changcha's Ten Talks of Unfathomable Depth (2)
We continue our Treeleaf Zendo Podcast with a new episode from the series based on master Tong'an Changcha's little-known "Ten Talks of Unfathomable Depth". Sekkei Harada Roshi relfects that "These Ten Verses of Unfathomable Depth ... written by Master Tong’an Changcha and represent a work of pure Sōtō Zen. The first five verses set forth the principles of Sōtō Zen, while the second five are concerned with matters of practice. Thus, taken together, these verses encapsulate the whole teaching of Sōtō Zen." We will explore the second of the ten talks. (Translation by Daigaku Rumme) This talk was given during the Treeleaf monthly Zazenkai. For more information about practice at Treeleaf Sangha, please visit treeleaf.org
