Practicing Honestly- On the Mangala Sutta Pt 2 - Hogen, Roshi
from Zen Community of Oregon Dharma Talks · host Zen Community of Oregon
This talk on the Mangala Sutta includes the importance of responding to life's circumstances with a calm, clear mind; the idea that each person has a unique set of skills and talents worth developing with intention and integrity; and the value of staying open to learning rather than assuming you already know. It closes with a distinction between speech that flatters people's existing beliefs (what algorithms do) versus speech that is genuinely inclusive and connects people to something larger than their own perspective. ★ Support this podcast ★
