Dainin Katagiri Roshi wrote that “when you touch this basic nature of life, you feel relief. This is your final abode, your terminal station… a new life opens up, everywhere, in all directions.” As the Heart Sutra says “No hindrance in the mind, no hindrance, therefore no fear.”

What would it be like to feel this kind of boundlessness and fearlessness? Is my life not open in all directions already? How is it not?
