The Declaration of Interdependence-Dharma Discourse (mp3)

by Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi

We create suffering by separating ourselves from everything and everyone around us. To enter into practice is to declare our willingness to recognize our utter interdependence, and to live from that realization. In this talk, Shugen Roshi encourages us to see our lives with a fresh sense of wonder by directly facing what's in front of us without expectations or preconceptions.
