In his Dharma talk, "Step Forward," senior student Mukei presents Case 46, Step Forward from the Top of a Pole, from The Gateless Barrier.
Mukei reminds us that the depth of awakening or enlightenment can be seen in how we serve others, and he illustrates that by invoking viewpoints from Bernie Glassman, Shunryu Suzuki and Calvin and Hobbes on how we can step forward from the the top of a pole.
