Three Ways to Reduce Fear - Jogen Salzberg, Sensei
In this talk, Jogen reflects on Maezumi Roshi’s teaching that the greatest gift we can give or receive is freedom from fear. He explores how so much of our striving—whether for health, wealth, status, or security—is rooted in fear, and offers three simple but profound practices to reduce its grip. By cultivating the willingness to fully experience life, learning to see thoughts as just thoughts, and embodying a kind and respectful heart, we loosen fear’s hold and open to trust in mind and heart. These teachings invite us into greater freedom, self-respect, and the joy of being.
