One Hiss and I Lost What I Know — Heather Shōren Iarusso — Dharma Talk at Green Gulch Farm

This talk was given at Green Gulch Farm Zen Temple by Heather Shōren Iarusso. While hiking near Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, Rev. Heather Shōren is so startled-shocked-scared by the rattle-hiss-coil of a rattlesnake in tall grass that she instinctively leaps to safety before any thoughts can arise. The encounter becomes a lived koan, echoing an ancient Chan awakening story where a monk realizes enlightenment upon hearing a tile strike bamboo. In the flash of danger, there is no “Heather,” no narrative, no arising mental formations—only pure perception and appropriate response. Recorded on Sunday, February 15, 2026.
