Show Notes
In this talk on the Faith in Mind chant, Jogen explores acceptance, frictionlessness, and the deeper wisdom that lives beneath ordinary discriminating thought. He reflects on how suffering arises from clinging to opinions, identities, and habitual stances, and how Zen practice reveals a naturally fluid, responsive mind that does not grind against experience. Pointing to prajna—intelligence before thought—he invites us to trust the heart-mind that meets each moment freshly, allowing action and understanding to arise from the bare ground of presence rather than from fear, preconception, or self-doubt. This talk was given at Heart of Wisdom Zen Temple on December 17 2025.
