In this episode of Awakening Streams, Sensei Michael Brunner explores the profound intersection of Zen wisdom and Western philosophy, focusing on the teachings of Zen master Joshu and philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein.
Drawing from Joshuâs koan in the Shoyoroku (Case 57), âGenyoâs One Thing,â and Wittgensteinâs insights in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and Philosophical Investigations, Sensei Michael examines the limits of language, the pitfalls of clinging to concepts, and the liberating power of letting go. Through stories, teachings, and even a nod to Tom Pettyâs song âI Need to Know,â this episode highlights how our attachment to knowing obscures the direct experience of life.
Key themes explored in this episode include:
Wittgensteinâs idea that the limits of language define the limits of our world.Joshuâs razor-sharp responses, pointing beyond conceptual thinking to direct experience.DĹgenâs reminder that âa picture of a rice cake cannot nourish us.âThe connection between clinging to ideas and missing the fullness of the present moment.Sensei Michael invites listeners to reflect on their own dependence on knowing and consider what it means to throw away preconceived notions and truly be the One. This episode is both a philosophical and practical guide to stepping beyond the confines of the conceptual mind and embracing life as it is.

In this teisho from our Zen of Recovery retreat, Sensei Michael Brunner dives into the teachings of Sansheki-shu, Case 2: "Finding a Diamond on a Muddy Road." The story of Zen master Gudo and a gambler in desperate need of transformation serves as the foundation for a profound exploration of awakening. Sensei emphasizes that the master we seek is already within us and that our true nature can only be revealed by letting go of the small self, with its limitations and judgments.
Through the virtues of honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness, we can see clearly, move beyond our old patterns, and allow the vast and boundless self to emerge. This talk reminds us that awakening isn't just for our own peace, but it has far-reaching implications for everyone we meet and everything we touch. Each of us has the potential to bring healing to the world, but first, we must realize that it is up to us to step forward and lead the way.
Join us for this episode, where Sensei challenges us to let go of preconceived notions and walk the path of transformation. The world needs your awakened self now more than ever.

In todayâs teisho, Sensei Michael Brunner examines ShĹyĹroku Case 91, Nansenâs Peony, a classic koan that questions the nature of reality and our habitual tendencies to divide and categorize our experience. Through Nansenâs response to Riko Taifuâs statement about the unity of all things, Sensei illuminates how our minds draw boundaries between ârealâ and âunreal,â and âselfâ and âother,â creating a fragmented view of life.
Rather than getting caught up in the endless cycle of judgment and labeling, Sensei encourages us to let go of our grasping and dwell in the seamless reality of the present moment. When we stop splitting our awareness, we begin to see that enlightenment and delusion arise from the same root. By dropping our notions of attainment and separation, we can fully embrace our lives as they are, walking into both joy and suffering with compassion and clarity.
Key Takeaways:
The mindâs tendency to categorize is what creates the illusion of separation.True insight requires us to drop our conceptual thinking and experience life directly.Enlightenment and delusion are two sides of the same coin, rooted in the same essence.Practicing presence and compassion requires letting go of the desire to label experiences as "good" or "bad."Join Sensei Michael Brunner in this exploration of Nansenâs teaching, and discover how to walk freely in the undivided reality of your own life.

In this episode, Sensei Michael shares reflections from the closing of a September 2024 sesshin at One River Zen. As the retreat draws to a close, he explores the powerful insights that arise when we step out of the stories we've created about ourselves and engage with the present moment. Drawing from ShĹyĹroku Case 32, "KyĹzanâs State of Mind," Sensei Michael invites us to observe our thoughts and experience life directly, without being swept away by mental constructs.
The episode also weaves in the teachings of Carl Jung from his Red Book, emphasizing the importance of letting go of fixed ideas and embracing the natural growth of our true selves. Just as Jung encourages growth without knowing the law of it, Sensei Michael reminds us that our practice is about meeting life as it isânot as we think it should be.
Join us as we explore how to shift beyond intellectual understanding and step into the boundless nature of being. Remember, once youâve seen your true nature, you canât unsee itâbut continued practice is essential, as the weeds of delusion can quickly grow back.
Key Points:
The seductive power of personal stories and how to step beyond themReflections on ShĹyĹroku Case 32 and KyĹzan's guidance on observing thoughtInsights from Carl Jungâs Red Book on natural growth and letting go of the small selfThe importance of continued practice to prevent delusions from creeping back inTakeaway: Let go of who you think you should be, and find your life where it is, right here and now.
