Angel City Zen Center - Beginners Only Podcast
Religion & Spirituality:Buddhism
"What are we liberating ourselves from? It's about being able to do the things that you want to do and not getting hung up about smaller things
This is emotional liberation, emotional freedom. People get discouraged in Zen for not getting things or not understanding it. A lot of people think that they just don't get it and move on to other things.
You have to be okay with sometimes not getting it. That’s a good thing here." - Erik Andersen
In an embodiment of true Zen wisdom, Erik regales us with a koan that he can’t answer, and answers it with a talk on how to answer the unanswerable. Is the world a place of good or a place of evil? Does the joy outweigh the suffering? Is there an answer to such a question, and how are we supposed to respond if there isn’t? Find out here!
