It was helpful but hard. I am an intervert and my biggest challenge is reaching out and spending time with others. I tend to be shy and lonely. I had a shy and lonely childhood . Now I’m old and still the same and have more tools. It’s an ongoing survival job Thank you for these tools . I’ll practice,

Thank you. Hearing that even a Zen priest still experiences judging mind helped me to understand how I can more gently work with my own judgements. Rather than being frustrated by their continued existence. Really, so many of them are just silly and arbitrary. 🙏🙏

Such a wonderful tak. I recently finished the Upaya Chaplaincy training and begin a two year residency at a hospital so this tak spoke deeply to me . Gassho
