Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei and Danica Shoan Ankele, Sensei - ZCNYC - 3/15/26 - Buddha and Mara are figurative ways of portraying a fundamental seeming opposition within our human nature: Buddha stands for a capacity for awareness, openness, and freedom; with Mara representing a capacity for confusion, closure, and restriction. In this collaborative Dharma Talk Shoan and Hojin explore the four traditional teachings of the ways Mara appears. - This talk followed the Meeting Mara : the Art of Fearless Presence Retreat.
