What Nansen’s Cat Teaches About True Awareness | The Gateless Gate | A Daily Dose of Zen

In this video, we explore one of the most mysterious Zen stories ever told — “Nansen Cuts the Cat” from The Gateless Gate.
When a group of monks argue over a cat, Zen master Nansen does something shocking that becomes a timeless lesson on awareness, duality, and presence.
Through Nansen’s act and his student Joshu’s surprising response, we uncover what Zen means by acting beyond words and concepts.

If you’ve ever wondered what a koan really is, or how Zen masters teach without explaining, this story will open that gate.
