Joshin Sensei

In this the second talk of the Winter Ango sesshin, Joshin Sensei talks about the sense of lack that is customary for the small self to experience and how this gives rise to the thirst for affirmation not to mention greed, anger and ignorance. And how Ryokan, Zen poet of the 18th century, in choosing poverty or intentional lack shows us when we realize ourselves, we discover what we seek we have never lacked.
