"Put a fish on land and he will remember the ocean until he dies. Put a bird in a cage and he'll never forget the open sky." So why is it that us humans have forgotten our true home—the radiant, joyful purity of our original mind? In this talk inspired by a poem by the Zen master Han Shan, Ajahn Anan tells us how we can return to where we really belong. This translation was given directly after Ajahn Anan's talk in Thai, so my apologies for the occasional stumbles.
