The Perfection of Wisdom - Jogen Salzberg, Sensei

April 30, 2026·34 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In this talk, Jogen continues a series on the six perfections, focusing on prajñāpāramitā—the perfection of wisdom. Rather than conceptual knowledge, this wisdom points beyond thought into direct experience, where reality cannot be fully captured in language. Using the framework of four “binds” of reality—ineffability, timelessness/spontaneity, non-separation, and openness—the talk explores how perception and awareness are inseparable from the unfolding of life itself. Practitioners are invited to relax habitual patterns of control and separation, and to recognize the inherent clarity and openness already present in every moment. ★ Support this podcast ★
