Via Lion's Roar // Yes, We Can Have Hope

 

Yes, We Can Have Hope
Roshi Joan Halifax reflects on the idea of “wise hope” and why we should open ourselves to it.
As Buddhists, we share a common aspiration to awaken from suffering; for many of us, this aspiration is not a “small self” improvement program. The bodhisattva vows at the heart of the Mahayana tradition are, if nothing else, a powerful expression of radical and wise hope—an unconditional hope that is free of desire.
