The Sanctuary Is Built Here
from The Zen Mountain Monastery Podcast · host Zen Mountain Monastery
Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi – ZMM – 5/3/26 – The middle way between indulgence and denial is not obvious for any of us beginning on our practice path. How could we know where the “middle” might be? We need to stumble and make mistakes to learn how to embrace a wholesome and sustainable balance, through practice. Building a sanctuary, a monastery, or a livable life takes effort, reflection, atonement and renewal. Our own enlightened nature is ready at any time to support what can be of benefit to all beings. (From the Book of Serenity, Case 4: The World Honored One Points to the Ground)
