"83 Problems? No Problem" is Kosho McCall's Sunday Open Zen talk from January 21, 2018.

We don't like this and we either try to get rid of them or get away from them. Then he flips us on our heads: they are not the real problem we have to deal with. There is only one problem we can do anything about.
