From the Mind Training (Lojong) Slogans of Atisha
Where do we find stability and balance if not in the midst of the noise, thoughts, myriad events of the day? Where and when are the opportunities to pause and remember to practice? Shugen Roshi continues with his Lojong commentary, on slogan #16: “Whatever you meet unexpectedly, join with meditation”, while illustrating with Dogen’s True Dharma Eye koan “Baizhang’s Wild Geese.”
