Talk by Mukei Hoshi “Human: to Be or Pretend” 21.08.2026 11:33 ↓

Mukei Hoshi reflects on the koan, “Kit's New Practice,” from The Book of Householder Koans. To pretend is to make believe. What does it mean to be human in our practice? Mukei talks about Spiritual by-passing and worldly by-passing. Are we engaged or avoiding the world? Are we "waking up" in life, or escaping? Perhaps, we can discern the answer by how we bring ourselves to serve.
