Dark to the Mind, Radiant to the Heart

from The Zen Mountain Monastery Podcast · host Zen Mountain Monastery

Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei – ZCNYC – 5/3/26 – This talk explores what Hongzhi calls the “mysterious pivot,” a sudden shift that disrupts thinking and reveals direct, lived experience. Drawing on Dharma teaching and the Arts, Hojin highlights how loosening the mind of grasping, defining, and securing opens the heart to a deeper, more immediate ‘shock of recognition’ of our true nature.
