Life Purpose as Koan

The Dharma empowers us to ask essential questions. This talk is an invitation to question, to really question and to live into these questions.

Often when we think about our life purpose, we makes assumptions about ourselves and the world that stem from fixed beliefs or inherited perspectives. For example the dharma invites a very different view of ourselves and the world, then say neo-capitalism does.

The dharma invites us to see ourselves as a network of inter-relations, our lives completely intertwined with the lives of the natural world, animals, plants, the great earth and sky, the people on our block and all over the world.

How does our sense of life purpose change when we open to experience of deep interconnection?

This talk is a deconstructive contemplation. An invitation to question. An empowerment to sit with a question. To let self, world, purpose live as questions in your heart.
