Liberating This And That
Simon Daiō Sekku Harrison, Senior Monastic
Zen Mountain Monastery, Mt. Tremper, New York, Wednesday 06/24/2026
Invoking the Diamond Sutra’s verse on impermanence in “all this fleeting world,” monastic Daiō explores how the mind’s expectations and conditioned habits cloud our understanding of all reality, how we react without truly seeing things as they are. How do we stop, deepen our attention, and liberate all “this and that” we formerly fixed in our minds? How do we see that, even when we doubt our capacity, we’re already flying.
