On this Dharma Speak sequence, Kurt Spellmeyer—a Zen priest and a professor at Rutgers College in New Jersey—discusses the significance of vacancy in Zen Buddhism. Absence and presence, life and dying, permanence and alter—none of those describe the best way issues actually are. As an alternative, they depict the best way that issues seem after we omit vacancy—the lacking half of actuality. And after we put the vacancy again in, all the pieces is modified.
Kurt Spellmeyer is a Zen priest who directs the Chilly Mountain Zen Sangha in New Jersey and a Tricycle contributing editor. He teaches English at Rutgers College and is the creator of Buddha at the Apocalypse: Awakening from a Culture of Destruction.
