SUMMARY:“Great Faith\, Great Doubt\, Great Determination” with Rev. Dr.
  Wakoh Shannon Hickey
DESCRIPTION:“Great Faith\, Great Doubt\, Great Determination”\n\nwith R
 ev. Dr. Wakoh Shannon Hickey\, Maggie Ingalls\, and Brian Shaw\n\nIn Zen B
 uddhism\, great faith\, great doubt\, and great determination are the engi
 nes of spiritual growth. We need faith in the possibility that we can expe
 rience spiritual freedom\, even in the midst of our human struggles. We ne
 ed doubt\, too: the intellectual and spiritual humility to push beyond com
 placency and false certainty\, to maintain a spirit of curiosity and openn
 ess to what we do not currently know. We need determination to persist in 
 seeking spiritual growth in the moments when we can’t see how to move fo
 rward. When we cultivate great faith and great doubt with great determinat
 ion\, the divine mystery reveals itself\, often in ways we don’t expect 
 and can’t predict\, but that can transform us.\n\nRev. Dr. Wakoh Shannon
