The Eternal Child, The Old Man and Spiritual Commitment - Jogen Sensei
Using the Jungian archetypes of the eternal child and the wise elder, this talk maps the tension between following inspiration wherever it leads and committing deeply enough to actually cook — arguing that neither without the other is anything but a different kind of neurosis, and that real spiritual commitment somehow needs both. ★ Support this podcast ★

How To Be A Mystic In The City- Jogen Sensei
Jogen offers five categories for living a mystical life right in the middle of it — microdosing stillness, staying connected to the tender fleetingness of existence, liquefying your fixity through play, following whatever opens your heart, and finding the skeletal principles that guide you without making your life tight. ★ Support this podcast ★

According to Me: Opinions About Reality Keep Us From Living It- Hogen Roshi
Drawing on the Mangala Sutta's teaching on gratefulness and a recent pilgrimage to 400-year-old Soto Zen monasteries in Japan, this talk by Hogen Roshi traces how the abiding belief that "the world should work according to me" cuts us off from the very life we're trying to improve. ★ Support this podcast ★

Trusting Your Sense of the Divine - Jogen Sensei
This talk addresses people who know or have known a natural sense of the sacred — and who may have set it aside when they entered a formal tradition — arguing that what you already know is not less valid than what any lama, priest, or roshi says, and that the meeting of inborn spirituality with a tradition can be the most potent combination of all. ★ Support this podcast ★

Yes, Yes, Yes - Hogen Roshi
In this talk onn self-sufficiency, impossible decisions, and turning failure into wisdom, Hogen Roshi argues that true liberation isn't a state we achieve and protect but a responsive openness that meets whatever comes with curiosity rather than fear. ★ Support this podcast ★

Free From What? - Hogen Roshi
Sparked by a Fourth of July celebration, this talk cuts through the cultural fantasy that freedom means getting what you want — and points instead toward the Buddhist understanding of freedom as release from greed, anger, and delusion, discoverable not by chasing carrots but by simply stopping, sitting, and breathing. ★ Support this podcast ★

There Is No Better You Somewhere Else: Respect, Humility, and the Mangala Sutta- Hogen, Roshi
Contrasting a book of philosophy where every page offers a new way to think about reality with the Buddha Dharma's insistence on direct verification, Hogen argues that contentment and gratitude aren't ideas to adopt but discoveries that arise naturally when we stop managing our experience and simply look closely. ★ Support this podcast ★

Sacred Lamp Of Awareness- Jogen, Sensei
Rather than talking about awareness, this talk by Jogem invites listeners to taste it directly — through guided exhalations, the image of a hollow vessel lit from within, and the Dzogchen teaching of the Nine Amazing Things — pointing to the primordial light that exists in everyone. ★ Support this podcast ★
