Joshu's Mu and the Five Koshas - Mumonkan 1 (October 2026)
Saturday, 24 October, 2026

How can the most well known paradox of Zen Buddhism, the Mu koan, be understood through a Tantric Buddhist lens?In this talk Sensei Kanko (Dr. Kritee) brings Joshu's "Mu" into conversation with an older tantric Buddhist framework of the pancha koshas, five concentric sheaths running from the gross body engaged in materialism to constant bliss. What do we miss when we treat Mu as a fixed singular doorway rather than a complex portal inside a layered architecture? This talk also offers an authentically humble account of the Zen priest’s journey to Tantric Buddhism.Sensei Kanko gave this talk in October 2026 retreat.Thank you for listening to the Boundless in Motion podcast.
