This course is a recording of a workshop that Guo Gu gave in 2021. Many students of Buddhist meditation experience challenges with even the most basic of methods, such as the breath.
In this workshop, Guo Gu explains at length the essence of the three main "gates", or methods, used in Chan Buddhism, focusing specifically on the correct attitude with which to use the methods and how to tailor the method of practice to the current state of one's body and mind.
