Frank Ostaseski: Love is My Mentor

Upaya Zen Center's Dharma Podcast - A podcast by Joan Halifax | Zen Buddhist Teacher Upaya Abbot - Sundays

The Persian poet Hafiz wrote that between now and death he knows of no better topic to discuss than love. Frank Ostaseski agrees. Echoing the Prayer of St. Francis, Frank tells us how amidst suffering he learned that love would not save him by coming toward him but by coming through him. It is when we allow our own suffering to speak that we’re able to love others in their suffering, helping them to love themselves again. This episode also serves as Part 1 of the series: Love and Death 2022: Opening the Great Gifts.
