Longing That Cures - Jogen Salzberg, Sensei
Update: 2025-11-06
Description
In this talk, Jogen Sensei explores the paradox of longing—the pain and medicine of our deepest yearning. Drawing from Dōgen, the Faith in Mind poem, and ancient teachings, he illuminates how our wanting, striving, and efforts to understand can either bind us or open us to freedom. Through stories, humor, and grounded guidance, Jogen invites us to practice with wholeheartedness for its own sake—not as a transaction, but as intimacy with life itself. This talk moves through themes of determination, innocence, and the living rhythm of practice that carries us beyond “easy” or “hard.” This talk was given during the 2025 Ancient Way Sesshin at Great Vow.
