Fusatsu: Right Speech
About this episode
Geoffrey Shugen Arnold discusses the importance of right speech according to Buddha's teachings during the Fusatsu Ceremony.
Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi - ZMM - 5/21/26 - Are the words you are about to speak true? Verify them first through your own experience. Are they of benefit? Are they agreeable or disagreeable? Know your intentions and consider carefully before speaking. Drawing from the early teachings, Shugen Roshi offers the Buddha’s guidelines for practicing right speech in ways that bring an end to conflict and suffering and offer a path of liberation. (Dharma Discourse during the May 2026 Fusatsu Ceremony at ZMM)
