Imagination and the Bodhisattva Universe

For many, walking a path of meditation sometimes entails stumbling into challenges of frustration and self-evaluation. Ever clear-eyed about the nature of things, Zen practice employs the imagination to open us to the possibilities of wholesome growth, of a change in frame: stepping out of the limits of "the world according to me" and into the vast, joyful freedom of the Bodhisattva Universe animated by the Four Immeasurable Vows and Six Perfections. — Kodo Conlin
