About this listen

Today, Roshi Allison Atwill explores the bodhisattva’s unique relationship with uncertainty as a healing balm for suffering.

Describing how Zen Buddhism draws from the Mahayana tradition in which the bodhisattva path means helping to awaken all beings, Atwill notes this is not a future goal to somehow be achieved but a moment-to-moment way of meeting every aspect of our own lives with sincere openness.

Your awakening has no recipe, she says. It’s uniquely yours to discover as everything you’ve taken as a given falls away.

"You can't get paint-by-numbers for a painting that doesn't exist. And it is the same for your awakening." - Tess Beasley.
