About this listen
In this talk, Jomon explores the first of the Bodhisattva’s four embracing actions—generosity—and how giving becomes boundless when we drop the sense of separation between giver, receiver, and gift. Drawing from Dōgen’s Bodhisattva’s Four Embracing Actions, stories of King Ashoka, and Shantideva’s Way of the Bodhisattva, she illuminates how generosity arises naturally from a heart touched by gratitude and compassion. Through reflections on trust, appreciation, and offering even “one speck of dust,” Jomon shows how giving can take the form of acceptance, imagination, presence, and allowing the world to unfold. She offers practical practices from Shantideva—like imagining vast offerings—to help cultivate a giving heart in daily life. The talk closes with a guided contemplation on what is being given in each moment and how we might meet it with generosity.
