I Vow to Set Endless Heartache to Rest
KOAN:
I vow to set endless heartache to rest.
—PZI Vows as Koans
From the Four Boundless Vows (PZI version):
I vow to wake all the beings of the world,
I vow to set endless heartache to rest,
I vow to walk through every wisdom gate,
I vow to live the Great Buddha Way.

Special Program: 4 Teachers & 4 Boundless Vows: 2nd Vow – with Tess Beasley
Part 2: I vow to set endless heartache to rest. Tess talks about the 2nd of the 4 Vows, the richness of heartache, and how we are drenched in tenderness and love for the world. Fearing drowning, we put up walls: “This shouldn’t be happening.” Seeing the endlessness of it allows it to move through, trusting the great river which carries us along. Setting heartache to rest is setting a kind of certainty to rest. Excerpt from the Sunday session on August 1, 2021.
