In diesem Teisho geht Christoph Rei Ho Hatlapa auf die Schwierigkeit ein, den vielfältigen Herausforderungen des Alltags allverbunden zu begegnen und nicht rastlos zum Knecht der zahlreichen Aufgaben im Terminkalender oder des globalen Geschehens zu werden. In Koan 281 des Shūmon Kattōshū ist es der Klang eines zu Boden fallenden Stücks Feuerholz, das den Mönch zu der Erkenntnis erwachen lässt, dass seine Umgebung nicht außerhalb der Dinge existiert, sondern Berge, Flüsse und die große Erde alle des Dharma-Königs Körper offenbaren. Zu seinen persönlichen Erfahrungen damit trägt Christoph ein selbstverfasstes Gedicht vor.
