Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei – ZCNYC – 8/30/26 – Join Hojin Sensei offering opening remarks to the practitioners at Fire Lotus Temple in Brooklyn to begin the Fall Ango Practice Period: “Now the hundreds of grasses are actually gathering for the Fall.

Without doubt it will naturally bear fruit.” —Dogen’s words opening an Ango practice period.
