We teach that all things are impermanent, and that includes us.

Lessons In My Delusion

Sharpening the Mind ·

2021/07/11

This episode is going to mostly be a life update sort of thing. I felt inspired to just share how the way I see things has shifted some in the past year or so. I think labels don't matter all that much, but I've stopped calling myself a "Zen Buddhist". That doesn't feel like the path for me anymore. The path for me is the way of the Bodhisattva. I know that now. If you want to donate to support this work, you can do so here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/danielscharpenburg --- Support this
