Description

In this talk, Jogen explores the intimate relationship between Zen practice and creativity, drawing on Dogen’s teaching that practice, realization, and expression form a complete circle. He shows how every moment of experience is a creative act—whether in the stories we tell ourselves, the identities we shape, or the way culture and attention sculpt who we become. Mind itself is a boundless, neutral space of possibility, able to generate beauty, delusion, and freedom alike. By illuminating this creative power and infusing it with compassion, we discover how to use the twenty-four hours of each day, rather than be used by them.
This talk was given on August 6 2025 at Heart of Wisdom Zen Temple.
