Koan Reflections — Case 3: Seng Ts’an’s Confessing Sin

In this track, we begin by briefly reflecting on Case 2: Bodhidharma’s “Bring me your mind”—as an opening into non-being and the possibility of awakening. Then I read Case 3, Seng Ts’an’s “Confessing Sin,” and invite you to pause the recording for as long as you like to sit with the koan. When you return, we reflect together on the turning point of “show me your sin,” and what it reveals about sin, karma, illness, and the mind. The aim is a simple, direct inquiry that lets old residue settle and clarity come through without forcing an answer.
