Fusatsu: Make Fresh
Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei
Zen Mountain Monastery, New York, Friday Evening 09/26/2025
Dharma Talk during the Mountains and Rivers Sesshin Fusatsu Ceremony
Taking responsibility allows us to make fresh and new karma, to heal what needs to be healed. The vows of atonement or repentance are at the center of this ceremony of Fusatsu. Hojin Sensei explores what the words of our vows in this context mean, and how our intentions can turn the tides of harmful karma — born of greed, anger and ignorance — and allow us to heal.
