Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi - Zen Mountain Monastery, New York, Sunday 02/27/2022 - From Master Dogen's 300 Koan Shobogenzo (True Dharma Eye), Case 265 - Shuilao's Enlightenment - In Buddhist practice and particularly Zen, there is a great emphasis on the power of words. Words can be both destructive or generative, can create war and can bring about peace. How do we understand the karma of our words and the actions they beget? To do so, Roshi explores the radical practice of stopping, noticing, and taking responsibility. Note: this talk begins with a prayer from Shugen Roshi for the people of Ukraine and the recent attack on their country.
