The Human Koan of Social Belonging - Domyo (7/12/2026)

We all naturally care about being accepted, included, and valued.  In fact, it can be said that social belonging is the one Koan we all share as human beings. As with any Koan, there is a great deal to be learned from examining our narratives about relationships, how we feel about them, and what we know to be true through Zen practice. By reflecting on these connections with an open heart, we can take refuge in something deeper - unconditional, independent, and absolute.
