Prayer and Zen -Chozen, Roshi

from Zen Community of Oregon Dharma Talks · host Zen Community of Oregon

In this talk, Chozen Roshi explores the role of prayer in Zen practice—something rarely discussed, yet deeply present. Rather than asking for control over life, prayer becomes an expression of gratitude, intention, and connection within the flow of cause and effect. From loving-kindness and mantra to silent listening, she reframes prayer as a way to open the heart and gently influence our inner and outer world. A practical and expansive look at prayer beyond belief. ★ Support this podcast ★
