Merging with the Divine: Zen's Path to Sacrificing the False Self

In this video, I’ll talk about how everything we do is always about the "I"—the personal self that we’re constantly trying to satisfy. From the smallest actions to the biggest decisions, everything is driven by what we want. I’ll share how Zen shows us the way to break free from this cycle by letting go of the small self, and the true meaning of sacrifice. This isn’t about giving up for others, but reconnecting with something bigger than ourselves. I’ll show you how, even in simple things like chanting or washing dishes, we can let go of the personal and open ourselves up to the universal. The small self must die to let the big self live. Let’s dive in.
