Joshin Byrnes & Matthew Kozan Palevsky: Living by Vow




Upaya Zen Center's Dharma Podcast show

Summary: (Zazenkai 1) Episode Description: In this talk, Sensei Joshin Byrnes and Matthew Kozan Palevsky ask the question, what is vow and how does it show up in our lives? The talk explores the difference between living by vow and by karma, the unattainable design of the Four Great Vows, the embodiment of vow, and the underlying motivations for vow. Joshin says, “It’s really impossible to live into an infinite vow. Because the vow is infinite, there’s no end to it…If there’s no end to it, then there’s no progress, really, that can be measured.”<br>
