Taking Up Zen Training
from The Zen Mountain Monastery Podcast Hosted by Zen Mountain Monastery
Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi – ZMM – 8/29/26 – Breathing, sitting, walking, all of these ordinary activities offer the capacity to train the mind. But in what? Awareness, non-grasping, insight, stability, all these good qualities essential for liberating ourselves and others.
