In Zen, a Mondo is an exchange between a disciple and his master, ( Mon: question, et Do: answer). Some mondos are renowned and illustrate the transmission of Zen « from spirit to spirit ». The master's response, sometimes going further than the question, may at first seem enigmatic or disconcerting.

These days, mondos usually take place in the dojo, during a sesshin.

In this « Mondo Online », you have the unique opportunity to pose a question to Master Kosen.

Strange is really the way which drives to the Cold Mount We see no beaten track, no trace of hoof. The valleys meander to lost of sight, The summits sparkle of dew and the pines mutter under the wind Did you not understand yet? Reality asks the way to the shadow.
