The Root of Faith - Hogen, Roshi
from Zen Community of Oregon Dharma Talks · host Zen Community of Oregon
In this talk, Hogen Roshi reflects on spring as a living expression of faith—an ever-present renewal that arises regardless of conditions. He points to the “root” of our being: the simple, undeniable aliveness that remains constant beneath changing circumstances. As we lose touch with this root, we grasp outwardly and create conflict; practice is a return to what is already here. A grounded and seasonal teaching on trust, renewal, and the foundation of faith. ★ Support this podcast ★
