Turning Problems Into Wisdom pt.2 - Hogen Roshi

In this talk, Hogen reflects on turning problems into wisdom, exploring how fear, beliefs, and fixed stories can become inner prisons—and how practice opens a path to freedom. Drawing on teachings about equanimity, responsibility, and gratitude, he invites listeners to face fear directly, soften around difficulty, and transform life’s challenges into sources of insight, compassion, and appreciation for this one precious life.
