In the Samyutta Agama Sutra, the Buddha taught that there are four kinds of horses: the first horse gallops merely at the sight of a whip; the second gallops when the whip touches its hair. The third gallops when the whip touches its skin, and the fourth horse only begin to gallop when the whip touches its bones. Come unpack the meaning of this parable with Kenkai and the sangha. All are welcome.

Kenkai Brandon Lamson is a senior member of Houston Zen Center. A published poet, he is assistant professor of creative writing at University of Texas at Austin, and has published essays on Buddhism in Tricycle and Lion’s Roar magazine. He will be ordained as a Zen priest in January 2024.
