Offerings to the Land Deity

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi – ZMM – 6/29/25 – Shugen Roshi asks, “If all things are empty with no inherent existence, then how do things come into being?” In other words, how are we creating our world, moment by moment? How do we do this consciously, intentionally, bringing our vows to life? Every occurrence is handed to us fresh, and in practice we can learn to bring our best selves forward, without grasping or clinging to anything extra. – From the Treasury of the True Dharma Eye – Case 18 – “Nanquan and the Land Deity.”
