Geoffrey Shugen Arnold

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi – ZMM – 4/19/26 – Living a simple life in the Buddhist tradition is a skillful means which supports the development of clarity and flexibility, so we are not weighted down by things, by situations, or by our own thoughts. Free of unnecessary complications, we can “respond appropriately” to all changes we encounter. This pivot moment, as Master Hongzhi taught, allows us to respond to all the things that come our way.

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi – ZMM – 3/29/26 – Prajna Paramita is the wisdom of the other shore, encompassing all of the paramitas and expressing the non-duality of wisdom and compassion. As the theme of this Dharma Encounter, Shugen Roshi invites sangha members to present their understanding and their questions about Prajna Paramita, as well as “turning words” which express the heart of this theme, the non-duality of wisdom and compassion.
