The Pillars of Zen Practice - Jogen Salzberg, Sensei

This talk explores the three essential qualities of Zen practice—great faith, great doubt, and great determination—as living forces rooted in direct experience. Jogen emphasizes trusting the glimpses of clarity and freedom we’ve already tasted, while continually questioning the habits and beliefs that obscure them. With steady devotion and a long-view commitment, practice becomes a dynamic unfolding where insight deepens, sincerity matures, and the possibility of liberation is sustained for oneself and others.
