Patient Forbearance
Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei
Zen Center of New York City, Fire Lotus Temple, Brooklyn, Saturday 10/18/2025
Hojin Sensei’s Saturday Zazenkai Talk 18th October at Fire Lotus Temple
How do you become ‘rested and ready’ to meet those things you’d rather hurry by, or bring under control and fix? Hojin Sensei reminds us that a simple pause can skillfully hold this tension of opposites, which calls on a deeper intimacy with the self through practice. In this way our actions align with the aspiration to Patience Paramita as practice itself.
