Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei - ZCNYC - 8/3/25 - Often overlooked, kinhin (walking meditation) is a most important, exquisite practice of the transition of rising up off our mountain seat and walking into our everyday lives in an undivided manner. How do we walk in accord with the Dharma—touching this great earth with wisdom and care, amidst all that life presents to us? Are we walking towards or away greater understanding? Are these different? Hojin Sensei begins by sharing her own daily ritual for maintaining harmony and offers the teaching of Master Dogen, "We must devote ourselves to a detailed study of this virtue of walking.”

Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei - ZCNYC - 7/20/25 - What is this we think of as ‘my body'? Hojin Sensei brings in the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutra focusing on Buddha's teaching to meditate on ‘the body in the body.' Our culture already encourages a focus on the mind and the intellect, and because we're educated to be in our heads, it can be really hard to include the body in our awareness as we're developing the capacity for more presence. Hojin offers this talk as a tribute to poet and performance artist Andrea Gibson —who passed earlier this week— and delivers her poem, "I Sing the Body Electric, Especially When My Power's Out."
Attitude. Intent. Shakyamuni's words resonate through Nichiren. Our practice is our guide, “...follow the Law, not the Person”, allowing no others in thought word or deed to impede our sharing and practice of the Mahayana and our praise for all those who seek the path of the Lotus. “Buddhism Reference” – Now Available in the TLK Bookstore; www.lulu.com/spotlight/kwoon

The interstitial space of thought, the mind, and life is once again the conundrum of early Buddhist teaching seemingly contradicting the clarity of the Mahayana teachings. Life as “verb”; as action, momentum and ephemeral; rather than “Life” as static condition, thing, or permanent in the realm of forms. “Buddhism Reference” – Now Available in the TLK Bookstore; www.lulu.com/spotlight/kwoon

Shakyamuni uses the rhetoric of his dual existence to again drive home the point that all phenomena inherit Tathagata potential.

In his way of the use of simile, personages, and Energy Potentials as “places in time”, Shakyamuni speaks of the 3 entities of birth with all inherent consciousnesses including Buddhahood; and his implementation of enlightenment as a gradually revealed entity in the mundane world.
Možda nije velika godišnja prezentacija, ali zemljotres nije ništa manji: Džoni Ajv vraća se na novu veliku scenu, ali ovoga puta sa Semom Altmanom kao novom muzom.

Mark and Nicole talked to the Chaotically Fascinating Burlesque performer, MUA, model and tarot reader Kira VonSutra on the latest Dark Mark Show Kira talked about how haunted Tulsa, Oklahoma was growing up, leading to spirits pulling her off the top bunk of her bunk bed, how she was able to follow her dreams of being a makeup artist to Hollywood leading to her eating lasagna with Danny DeVito at his home, being creeped on by Chevy Chase and making up Dan Aykroyd for a Saturday Night Live sketch directed by Ron Howard, and how she became one of the top burlesque dancers in the Hollywood Scene, despite being a bit of an outsider and having a predilection for having her pasties fall off mid performance. She talks about her fascination with the occult, how she astral projected in a friend's dream, which led to her starting to read tarot cards, the eternal appeal of Bettie Page, her punk rock and rockabilly past, what it is like being married to a metal musician, being “gender chaotic” and how she has video of her face changing during a very intense burlesque performance and so much more!
