Release Date: 1993

Label: Valley Of The Sun

The Gateless Gate is a 70-minute meditation verging on "virtual reality." You become the central character on a journey of self-discovery. Producted with beautiful music and incredible three-dimensional sound effects, you journey to a mountain ashram, meet 11 fellow travellers and kindly Brother Joshua, who conducts dharma talks, directs sitting and walking meditations, and Sanzen one-to-one sessions. You'll get up at 4:30 each morning, attend the sessions, work in the communal vegetable garden, sleep and dream in the afternoon. Again and again, you'll be directed within to seek awareness about your own life and spiritual quest. Each time you visit The Gateless Gate, you'll obtain new understanding.

According to ancient Zen, the wisdom has "no gate barriers." All that keeps who you are from becoming who you'd like to be is a gateless gate. Walk through it.

The full album title is The Gateless Gate: Meditation Journey, but the spines only say The Gateless Gate.
