The Unconditioned Vow

The question of life purpose is one that comes up throughout our lives.

Maybe you are in a life transition

Maybe you started out pursuing one career because family or societal pressure and now want to do something that is more in alignment with your heart

Maybe you are in a career change for another more unexpected reason

Or are feeling the heat of the climate crisis and fraying of culture–that you wonder–what can be done? What can I do?

To be willing to ask the question What is this life about? What is my offering? What do I do now, with these resources and time? What is my legacy? What is my Vow? Or Heart’s Aspiration? Has the potential to connect us to something beyond or individual human life.

This talk is an exploration of our unconditioned vows or primary vows. An exploration of what we want to live for or from, no matter what the conditions of our lives. Whether we are healthy, sick, in a natural disaster or working a job that we don’t like, but need. What is the moment to moment vow or intention that guides your life?

How do we re-connect to our heart’s aspiration when maybe we feel confused or out of sync? The unconditioned vow is the foundation for re-connecting with purpose.

This is the first talk in a series of talks exploring vow and life’s purpose from a dharma lens.
