Good in the Beginning, Good in the Middle, Good in the End -Zen Teacher Jomon

This talk explores how the ups and downs of a single sitting period mirror the larger arc of a retreat or an entire life of practice.

Drawing on the image of a snake in a bamboo tube, a long marriage and retreat as a modern rite of passage, they explore how difficulty, doubt, and disillusionment aren't failures but essential parts of deepening commitment.
