Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi - Zen Mountain Monastery, New York, Saturday 04/30/2022 - From The Blue Cliff Record, Case 87 - Medicine and Disease Subdue Each Other - Why do certain afflictions arise for us? Are we simply victims of our karma, of causes and conditions? Or might our hardships be helping us cultivate something that we need? In this talk, Shugen Roshi illuminates how it is through our suffering that we find our path to liberation and that our teachers are often closer than we think.
