An audience question and answer session with Lawrence Grecco on Jane Radio. Recorded August 27, 2012.
Koans are paradoxical questions used in Zen practice to help us reach a deeper level of understanding instead of relying solely on our thinking, rational minds. You don’t have to be a Zen Master to develop the same kind of wisdom used in Koan study.

This dharma talk took place at the Interdependence Project in New York City on February 15, 2012.
