Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi - Zen Mountain Monastery, New York, Wednesday 11/17/2021 - From Transmission of the Light, Case 28 - The 27th Indian Ancestor, Prajnatara - Of all the possible directions we can take, why does one person take a direction which is very different from everybody else's path? How do we know if the path is true for us? Shugen Roshi reminds us that we must be aware that when we encounter a teaching that we may or may not understand but have an affinity with, we should trust that affinity. Similarly, we should rely on the meaning of that teaching rather than the words.
