2023-02-26 The Shape of Spiritual Life 37:18
Pamela Weiss
This talk explores what leads us to spiritual practice and how spiritual life unfolds, drawing on the quote from the 8th century Chan Master, Ch’ing Yuan: "When I first began to practice, mountains were mountains and waters were waters. After I had practiced for some time, mountains were no longer mountains and waters were no longer waters. When I reached final peace, once again mountains were mountains and waters were waters.”
