The Gift of Disappointment - Jogen Salzberg, Sensei

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

In this talk, we explore how disappointment, though often unwelcome, can be a profound teacher. By meeting life’s letdowns with openness, we discover the tender ground of vulnerability that reveals our interconnectedness. The stories and reflections point to a shift from resisting what is to receiving it as part of the path. In the space where expectations dissolve, something truer and more spacious can quietly emerge.This talk was given on the Wednesday night program at HoW Zen Temple on July 23rd 2025. ★ Support this podcast ★
