Show Notes
In this episode, we explore the difference between concern and worry, and how spiritual practice can free us from the endless cycle of anxious thoughts. Through stories of daily life, karmic cause and effect, and the power of our mental states, we consider how inner clarity seeds future change. The talk reflects on spiritual activism, the “fragrance of love,” and how even small acts of awareness can ripple outward. Listeners are invited to discover their own quiet influence in a world full of noise and fear.
This talk was given on July 16, 2025 at Heart of Wisdom Zen Temple.
