The second in my occasional series on the Ancestors that we dedicate merit to during our service.  This time, Daikan Eno – better known to most as Huineng, the Sixth Ancestor of Zen.

In the final part of this three-part series, Sensei writes about shukke tokudo, "leaving home to enter the Way" - the ordination as priest or monk, and what it means in our lay-oriented tradition.

This week's post comes from a talk given at the Liverpool Dojo on 28th July by Keizan Sensei, on case 16 from the Mumonkan (Gateless Barrier), one of the major koan collections. 

In a bit of an experiment, instead of a regular blog post, this post is an audio recording of that talk.  Hopefully we'll be able to do more of these in the future.

Click through to the rest of this post to listen to Sensei's talk, and remember you can as ever leave comments for Sensei and the rest of us.  Would also really like to get feedback on what you think about having more talks like this available.
