Daizan talks about our innate human impulse to wake up - to understand the truth of who we are and how the universe is. In Buddhism this is called Bodhicitta, or in Japanese Bodaishin. Like each blade of grass has to push aside something like half a ton of earth to reach the sunlight, we are all powered by an energy greater than ourselves towards greater aliveness and awakeness. But how this manifests is unique to each of us.
