Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei
Zen Mountain Monastery, Mt Tremper, New York, Sunday 07/23/2023
Hojin Sensei brings us back to the breath. And to the Buddha’s teaching in the Ānāpānasati (Mindfulness of Breathing) Sutra, looking at the practice of paying attention to our breath – and the fruits of doing so. She reminds each of us to be careful not to take breath practice for granted, citing John Daido Roshi’s heartfelt admonition: “If you really give yourself to breath practice, it will take you to the depths you need to go.”
