Working With The Nagging Sense That You Are Lacking

How do we work with the persistent sense that "I am not enough"? This dharma talk begins with a teaching from the ancient Zen master Linji, about how we search outside of ourselves for what we imagine will make us whole and good. The talk then explores the origins of this sense of lack that arises in all of us, and how we can work with it.

Great talk affirming my misguided efforts to seek [whatever] outside myself. I have often been saddened by the thought “there’s no there there.” But perhaps that is a sense of “no self,” and I should be dive deeper into that freedom!

Thank you 🙏

Absolutely refreshing.
