Air is Life, Water is Life

from The Zen Mountain Monastery Podcast · host Zen Mountain Monastery

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi – ZMM – 11/2/25 – Genjokoan presents Dōgen’s perspective that practice and realization are not two separate stages but one seamless activity. This unified, non-dual nature is what every thing in the world moves within, like a bird in the air or a fish in the water. How do we practice being within our human element, the mind of concepts and ideas, a sense of self and others, of separation and difference, as not separate from anything at all? – Fall 2025 Ango – Genjokoan Series of Talks – Part 10
