Robert Waldinger

In this engaging discussion, Robert Waldinger, a Zen teacher focused on interconnectedness and compassionate action, debunks the myth of enlightenment as a permanent state. He emphasizes that true enlightenment is about seeing the connections among all beings and acting with kindness. Rather than chasing blissful experiences, Waldinger reminds us that enlightenment is found in everyday actions—like doing laundry or brushing teeth. It’s a continuous journey of awareness, where the focus shifts from perfection to living meaningfully in each moment.
