Gyodo Sensei shares his experience with and reflections on the challenges and dharmas of householder or lay life. The relational realm provides many opportunities to face ourselves directly, especially in times of crisis. So much is revealed. Our karma. Our interdependence.

Case 2 of the Mumonkan, Hyakujo and a Fox, shows us that we can't ignore cause and effect. We are responsible for everything in our life in every moment. Our practice is to embrace this as an opportunity to enter into the experience of the One Body. There is always something that calls for our attention. What a gift. What is needed? What is the most important thing?
