This talk is from Kisei's Monday night online sit through Heart of Wisdom Zen Temple in late June 2024.

When we take thoughts or beliefs as ultimate truth—divisiveness, conflict or isolation often follow suit. Our thoughts are powerful. And we can actually use this insight to try on other ways of viewing our lives or reality.

What happens when we take up a view of unconditional acceptance? Love unbounded? Freedom for all beings?

This is the heart of what we call—the Bodhisattva Vow. And it is often articulated as a vow to work towards liberation for all beings.
