Zen master Gandalf

My own teacher, Barry Magid, once remarked: 'of course, I always wanted to be Gandalf..' Do we all begin Zen practice with the fantasy of being in pursuit of some kind of Mastery of ourselves, of other people, of the world? In the Lord of the Rings it's undoubtedly Sauron, the Dark Lord, who's looking to establish Mastery over the world, a Mastery he embodies in the One Ring of Power. So where does that leave Gandalf? This is the first in a series of talks on Mastery, linking our own everyday search for control to the dominant instrumental worldview developed over the last four centuries.
