Living in Inquiry

from The Zen Mountain Monastery Podcast · host Zen Mountain Monastery

Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei – ZCNYC – 6/13/26 – When inquiry is alive within us, every thought we think can end with a question mark — perhaps even an exclamation mark — rather than a period. There is freedom in this openness, in loosening our fixed certainty and allowing experience to remain alive and fresh. Hojin Sensei explores a passage from the Diamond Sutra: “Develop a mind that abides nowhere.”
