Chan - Intrinsic freedom.

December 2026 - New video online on Daniel Odier's YouTube channel.



Extract from Daniel Odier's residential seminar on the theme: Chan - Intrinsic freedom.

In the Chan (Chinese Zen), there is only one foundation for the heart, only one practice, only one realisation. Chan centres on the idea that all beings have Buddha nature, that the entire cosmos has Buddha nature, and that one need only see this for a moment to be liberated. The entire practice revolves around this realisation. It is the most immediate, the most stripped-down, the most realistic path there is.
