Rethinking Impatience - Jogen Salzberg, Sensei

from Zen Community of Oregon Dharma Talks · host Zen Community of Oregon

In this talk on the paramita of patience (kshanti), impatience is explored as the tension between our desires and reality. Rather than something to resist, it becomes a doorway to awareness when we learn to let experiences arise and pass without reacting. This practice reveals a deeper sense of spaciousness and reduces our dependence on external conditions for fulfillment. Patience, in this way, becomes a flexible and grounded way of relating to both life and the spiritual path. ★ Support this podcast ★
