Reading the Koan: Gate of Nonduality

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi - ZMM - 3/1/26 - What did Vimalakirti say when Manjushri asked him to speak? In our own lives, how do we find freedom amid the dualities we encounter—sick or well, right or wrong, left or right? And what does the nonduality of form and emptiness reveal? When nothing stands opposed, where is the other side? In this talk, Shugen Roshi explores the nonduality of wisdom and compassion, and the selfless quality that makes each inseparable from the other. - From The Blue Cliff Record, Case 84: Vimalakirti's Gate of Nonduality.
