Balancing Act: Water Quality Protection and Flood Resilience
Get PDFFlood resilience efforts and laws designed to protect water quality may not always be compatible under current Virginia law. This paper will discuss two examples in particular. First, there can be tensions between the water quality goals under the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act and efforts to conduct flood resilience projects within 100 feet of the shoreline in Tidewater Virginia. Second, there are significant challenges faced by localities seeking to comply with the Virginia Stormwater Management Program, while also continuing to mitigate the impacts of flooding. These two examples stem from the larger question facing Virginia: as flooding increases, how does the state balance water quality protection with the need for flood resilience?

Understanding the Diamond Sutra through the Lens of Ordinary Mind
No full textThis paper offers an interpretive reading of the Diamond Sutra centered on the concept of ordinary mind, understood as the integrated functioning of samatha and vipassanā. Rather than treating the sutra as a purely paradoxical or nihilistic text, this study argues that its primary concern lies in the transformation of ordinary cognition through the dissolution of discriminative and boundary-making mental activity. Samatha is interpreted as the cessation of conceptual fixation and dualistic boundaries, while vipassanā is understood as the observation of phenomena within causal and dependent arising once such fixation has ceased.
Special attention is given to the sutra’s recurring linguistic pattern, “A is not A, therefore it is called A,” which this paper reads as expressing the dynamic relationship between non-discrimination and functional language. In addition to conventional interpretations, the author proposes a personal reflective insight: that naming itself may arise only after the dissolution of discriminative boundaries, allowing language to operate without reification.
Through close analysis of key verses—including “If one sees all forms as non-forms, one sees the Tathāgata” and “All conditioned phenomena are like dreams or illusions”—the paper argues that the Diamond Sutra presents awakening not as transcendence of ordinary life, but as a radical reorientation within it. Ordinary mind thus emerges as a post-discriminative mode of awareness in which ethical action, language, and everyday activity continue without attachment or grasping
