I have been listening to a lot of teaching from Jack kornfield, thich Naht Han, and similar Zen teachers. Like many spiritual guides, they often point to Nature as a source of peace, wholeness, and equanimity. They encourage meditation on the nature of a brook, a heron, or a flowering tree as sources of deep wisdom. But does not this same nature contain flesh eating bacteria, Community destroying plagues, and deadly predators? What do such things teach us about Zen? What value do such things have? Are there any teachings on the dark side of the natural world?
