Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi is a Zen Buddhist teacher,
the Abbot of Zen Mountain Monastery, and the head of the Mountains and Rivers Order.
For one who is virtuous, non-remorse will arise. For one free of remorse, gladness will arise which leads to joy. The body will be serene, one will feel happiness, the mind will be concentrated. It is a natural law for one with a concentrated mind to know and see things as they really are.
~ Shakyamuni Buddha
In this evening talk, we’ll explore the intimate relationship between how we live our lives each day and our meditation and spiritual practice. In Buddhism, integrating the Path in everyday life is essential to our aspiration to live a more awakened life. The Buddha understood and taught that all things are non-dual and every action has consequence. That is, what we do and what we experience are not two. When ignored or not understood - that is, when we don't live in harmony with what is true - our lives will continue to turn in painful cycles. When we do harmonise our clear intentions with our thoughts, words and action, this becomes the basis for a transformed life.
COVID Precautions: To protect the health of all who are attending, we ask that people RAT test (a) three days before and (b) prior to arrival at the event. If you have cold or flu symptoms, please do not attend.
