About this listen

In this talk, Hogen Roshi explores the Zen chant Affirming Faith in Mind, showing how its guidance is rooted in direct, present-moment experience. He emphasizes that the “great way” is not difficult when we are fully present and free from the disease of the mind—the constant vacillation between likes and dislikes. Through vivid examples from daily life and practice, he demonstrates how anchoring in the now allows creativity, responsiveness, and deep appreciation to emerge naturally. Hogen also offers insight into non-duality, reminding us that reality is already inclusive and non-dual, and that awakening arises when we directly experience what is, right here and now.
