The Power of Joy




San Francisco Zen Center Dharma Talks show

Summary: 09/30/2023, Zesho Susan O'Connell, dharma talk at City Center. In this talk from Beginner's Mind Temple, Susan O’Connell discusses how the joy of practice can support us when, as always seems to be the case, “there’s a lot going on.” Susan teaches that not resisting the present moment can open space for joy to arise spontaneously — the same joy that Suzuki Roshi described when he said: “Just being alive is enough.”
