Avian Traces
Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei
Zen Center of New York City, Brooklyn, Sunday 08/02/2026
“A bird flies in the sky, and no matter how far it flies, there is no end to the air.” Following a retreat at the temple, Avian Traces, Hojin Sensei speaks about being with her mother recently in her dying process, and a bird showing up on the windowsill making contact. She links this with other stories of birds and the fact that birds have been showing up in the Buddhist teachings going back to the time of the Buddha.
