Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei - ZCNYC - 12/01/24 - In Master Hongzhi's practice instruction, The Misunderstanding of Many Lifetimes, he points us in the direction of seeing the fusion-identification with our emotions, which is illusory. How do we understand our emotions, accept our situation and open to the spiritual energy which can transport us to realize our true identity, our buddha nature?

Feeling Our Way to Awakening

The Mountains and Rivers Order (MRO) is a Western Zen Buddhist lineage established by the late John Daido Loori Roshi and dedicated to sharing the dharma as it has been passed down, generation to generation, since the time of Shakyamuni Buddha. Zen Mountain Monastery, the main house of the Mountains and Rivers Order, is one of the West’s most respected Zen Buddhist monasteries and training centers. Nestled in New York’s beautiful Catskill Mountains, the Monastery draws its strength from the ancient tradition of Buddhist monasticism. Since 1980, the Monastery has offered spiritual practitioners traditional and innovative ways to engage the dharma through a wide range of retreats and residential programs that unfold within the context of authentic, full-time Zen monastic training. The Zen Center of New York City: Fire Lotus Temple is the city branch of Zen Mountain Monastery. Supporting home practitioners in the metropolitan area, ZCNYC offers varied practice opportunities within the Eight Gates training matrix.
