ZC 2115: Tricycle Week - Knowing Contentment by Myozan Ian Kilroy

Zen Commuter — Tricycle Week: "Knowing Contentment" by Myozan Ian Kilroy

Welcome to another insightful installment of Tricycle Week on Zen Commuter! Today, we explore the wisdom of Myozan Ian Kilroy in his poignant article, Knowing Contentment. In a world constantly pushing us toward more — more success, more possessions, more striving — Kilroy’s reflections offer a gentle yet powerful reminder of the peace found in appreciating what already is.

We’ll dive into how contentment is not complacency, but rather a deep awareness of enoughness. Through the lens of Buddhist practice, today’s episode encourages us to pause, reconnect with our present experience, and discover the calm that arises from letting go of craving.

Whether you’re commuting, walking, or simply taking a mindful break, this episode is an invitation to slow down and rediscover the joy of sufficiency.
