Our Ethos
For many of us there is a drive towards the discovery of meaning and truth.
Our true nature is simply this vast open and peaceful Awareness that is the witness of everything we call our life. This knowledge has been available for centuries and taught by all the great spiritual teachers, Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tzu etc in such traditions as Zen, Chan, Advaita, Dzogchen etc. To achieve spiritual enlightenment, to know the deep perfection of our true nature requires absolutely no change. It is this paradox that is often the stumbling block for those that walk this most direct of spiritual paths.
Mumonkan is here to provide a place for self discovery and realisation of our true nature. We are not fixed on a single approach, religion or philosophy and respect that each has differing needs. We include all non dual teachings and invite you to discover an approach that works for you.
