Steadying, Staying, Befriending
Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei
Zen Center of New York City, Fire Lotus Temple, Saturday Zazenkai 06/14/2025
In this talk Hojin speaks of this gentle approach with ourselves called Maitrī in Sanskrit or Metta in Pali. Essentially the same concept, both refer to “loving-kindness”, “friendliness”, “benevolence”, befriending -What is it to befriend ourselves? For real? How does that steady us?
