69 - The Soto Zen Goal of Goallessness: How to Awaken Without Trying
The goal of Buddhism is to awaken to what's true, because the truth is liberating. And yet my tradition, Soto Zen, points us toward the "goal of goallessness," telling us we'll awaken if only we give up our desire for anything else (including achieving some "goal" called awakening). In this episode I explore how the "goal of goallessness" points to the fact that if we willfully try to awaken, we create duality and get in our own way. Fortunately, Zen offers us ways to awaken without "trying."
