Path of Enlightenment: Stage 3 – Seeing the Ox
Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei
Zen Center of New York City, Fire Lotus Temple, Brooklyn, Sunday 12/14/2025
“In spring the sun in the green willow strands— See its timeless form.”
In this talk Hojin Sensei takes us on the journey of the third stage on the Path of Enlightenment—Seeing the OX. This is where we actually catch a first direct glimpse of our vast, boundless, ungraspable true nature. Why is the OX not ever showing its head?
And here is a short video of Hojin Sensei painting this ox herding image prior to her talk. Enjoy!
