The Second Bodhisattva Vow: Seeing Desire

This talk explores the second Bodhisattva Vow: Desires are inexhaustible, I vow to put an end to them. Zuisei explains that this vow is not about suppressing what is pleasurable; rather, it asks us to look at how we cling to our desires and in turn create suffering for ourselves and others. This vow calls us to let go of conditioning that makes us feel separate, and instead to focus on our shared humanity so we can work toward building a just and equitable world.
