Zen Mountain Monastery, 07/24/2019
In this talk from Interdependence Sesshin, Hojin Sensei employs the concept of immo—or “that which is”—from Master Dogen’s fascicle of the same name. Being tripped up by the ground beneath our feet (or a situation that we meet) we depend on that same ground to get back up. And we also depend upon the empty space, our full potential. When you stumble and fall, Sensei suggests, don’t be so quick to jump back up again. You may just find hidden gems, including the ground itself.

Grounding in Groundlessness

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.
