The Shape of Spiritual Life
37:18
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.”
