Was Gautama's quest the result of fear--the fear of old age, sickness, and death? We're all of the nature to get old, to get sick, and to die; no escaping them. But what do we do between birth and death? Do we use this time to help all beings, or fritter it away in fear? Depending on Prajnaparamita, the mind is no hindrance, and without any hindrance, no fears exist...we already dwell in Nirvana. Kevin Hae Seong Sheridan gives the talk at One Mind Zen July 20, 2022.
