The Body of Wisdom - Hogen, Roshi

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

This talk explores how grounding in present-moment awareness—especially through the body—becomes the foundation for transforming life’s challenges into wisdom. By cultivating integrity, ethical living, and alignment with a deeper aspiration, we learn to respond skillfully rather than react habitually. Hogen emphasizes that even our past mistakes and suffering can become sources of insight when met with awareness and compassion. Ultimately, wisdom arises not from abstract ideas, but from how we meet each moment with presence, responsibility, and an open heart. ★ Support this podcast ★
