Familiar Life, Fresh Eyes - Jomon Martin, Zen Teacher
from Zen Community of Oregon Dharma Talks · host Zen Community of Oregon
This episode explores the Zen teaching that “not knowing is most intimate.” Through story, reflection, and real-life retreat experience, we look at how beginner’s mind helps us meet life directly—without relying on old assumptions. From the discomfort of not knowing to the clarity it can bring, this talk points to intimacy not as closeness with others, but as deep presence with what is. The path home, it turns out, is always right here. This talk was given during the Great Vow Sunday Morning Program on July 13 2025. ★ Support this podcast ★
