Fusatsu: Renewing Our Humanity

Fusatsu: Renewing Our Humanity25. Sept.24 Min.

Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei - ZMM - 9/25/26 - In this Fusatsu talk, Hojin Sensei explores renewing our bodhisattva vows and practicing loving-kindness through the Three Pure Precepts. What does it mean to live by vow rather than be driven by our habitual karma? When we’re hurt or in conflict, can we see ourselves and others as more than our worst actions? Through humility, curiosity, and practice within the Sangha, we can acknowledge harm and learn to respond differently. Atonement offers a way to move through guilt and shame, renewing our commitment to compassion and service.
