Dharma Talk: “Waking into Wholeness” with Vanessa Zuisei Goddard

Many of us come to spiritual practice because of a persistent feeling that there’s something wrong—something off about us or about the world. Perhaps we struggle with loneliness or a sense of alienation. Perhaps we crave intimacy but are afraid to get close. Perhaps we wonder why there’s so much conflict everywhere. Is there a better way to relate to others and to ourselves?

Join Zuisei Goddard, Guiding Teacher of Ocean Mind Sangha, for an online dharma talk followed by Q&A on Thursday, July 23 at Mountain Cloud Zen Center. Zuisei takes up the koan of Senjo and Her Soul to show that when we look closely, we realize that our sense of separation is an illusion. That when we wake up to ourselves, we see that we’ve always been perfect and whole.
