Great Faith: Three Essentials of Zen

In this first talk in a series on the Three Essentials of Zen, Zuisei speaks on the first essential: Great Faith, discussing the four stages of faith and the role that they play in our commitment to the dharma.
To have faith is to trust and to let that trust guide us along our path as it unfolds. Having Great Faith is believing in our goodness, in the teachings, and in the sangha or community of practitioners. It is trusting that they will support us in the process of awakening.
This talk was given by Zuisei Goddard.
