Come to Rest in Actuality
Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei and Danica Shoan Ankele, Sensei
Zen Center of New York City, Fire Lotus Temple, Brooklyn, Sunday 03/15/2026
Buddha and Mara are figurative ways of portraying a fundamental seeming opposition within our human nature: Buddha stands for a capacity for awareness, openness, and freedom; with Mara representing a capacity for confusion, closure, and restriction. In this collaborative Dharma Talk Shoan and Hojin explore the four traditional teachings of the ways Mara appears. – This talk followed the Meeting Mara : the Art of Fearless Presence Retreat.
