Serenity Is a Stance Not a State- Jogen Sensei

When you sit and look for the self you never find it — just thoughts, feelings, space and energy — and this talk traces how that discovery becomes practical liberation, how being your own primary witness dissolves the hunger for others' approval, and how the vast flexible awareness Hongzhi calls empty wide open mind turns out to be the most dignified place a human being can stand. ★ Support this podcast ★
