Show Notes
This talk weaves together the joy of smiling in meditation, the vow of Jizo Bodhisattva, and a timeless folk story about learning patience. Through the tale of Little Rabbit and her journey of sitting still with Jizo, we’re reminded that patience is not given from outside but grown from within. Reflections on impatience, practice, and the flow of dharma show how slowing down opens us to presence and timelessness. Ultimately, we are invited to discover patience as both a personal gift and a path into boundless awareness. This talk was given during the 2025 Jizo Sesshin in September 2025 at Great Vow Zen Monastery.
