In this episode, Roshi John Tarrant tells the story of Deshan and his transformative pilgrimage of awakening.

We are all Deshan, ready to let go of our old pile of stories.

What is it like to be on a journey?

How do we get home from a journey?

How does the journey change us?

How can we meet our journey with openness?

"Meditation is a kind of change of heart, but it is more a forgetting to carry our burdens." - John Tarrant.
