    Liberating Intimacy – Softening Barriers to Love

    In this Wednesday Night Dharma Talk, Koshin Flint Sparks — psychologist, Zen teacher, and longtime student of the intersection of mind science and contemplative practice — offers a wide-ranging inquiry into what he calls “the double helix of maturity”: the intertwined work of growing up and waking up. Drawing on attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and teachings from across the Zen lineage, Koshin makes the case that love is central to practice — and traces suffering to its root in the longing to be seen, held, and chosen. He frames the Bodhisattva vow as fundamentally an expansion of our capacity for love through intimacy. Suzuki Roshi put it plainly: “You have no idea how long it takes to learn to love some people.” Koshin explains awakening as irreducibly relational: “Buddhist salvation is not a liberation of any individual — but rather the liberation of intimacy itself.” Suggesting that awakening is the falling away of everything that keeps us from meeting one another through love.
