O OUTRO LADO DO MEDO É A LIBERDADE (The Other Side of the Fear is the Freedom)

In Zen we speak of the Gateless Gate

It’s a wonderful phrase for something not there

If there is no gate what makes it a gate?

The answer is simple – we do.

Our minds have put a gate around the world, around the self,

around our abilities and possibilities

around and around and around

Our practice is to open the gate.

How do you open a gateless gate?

You walk on thru

You keep on walking

You walk on thru

You keep on walking

You walk on thru
