Continuing in the footsteps of his teacher JunPo Roshi, Doshin has been teaching a small group of apprentices what he calls the practice of "Touching the True Face". JunPo used to say: "Your angst is your liberation." Doshin extended this teaching and says: "Your conflicts can liberate you." Your very conflicts can themselves be a Dharma gate that opens to a direct experience of awakening to the realization of no-self and the embodiment of pure selfless awakened mind.

This is a meeting between a Zen student and an Integral Zen lay teacher or teacher in training. The intention is to guide students with language into an experience of “wu.” What is wu? Wu is a Chinese word, Japanese is “mu”. It is difficult to translate into English. The best translation for our purposes of Integral Awakening is “nothingness.” It is ironic that a direct experience of nothingness, the emptiness that isn’t empty but awake, can change your life.
