We Wake Up Together

When Shakyamuni Buddha saw the morning star he cried, “I and all beings of the great earth have in this same moment attained the Way.” He was not describing an experience limited to one human being. He was describing an experience that leaves nothing out, affirming the true human being. So how do we wake up together? And what does that even mean? This talk was given on the fifth day of the Great Ocean Sesshin 2025.
