The Creative Life Force

Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei – ZCNYC – 3/9/25 – Hojin Sensei stresses the universality of creativity; we’re creating every minute of our lives. i.e. “creativity is not just about art.” Or “Our whole life is art.” Furthermore, we can approach the three pure precepts (do not create evil, practice good, actualize good for others) as the practice of creativity in our everyday lives. So the questions become “What and how are we creating?” “What are we connecting with?” Hojin Sensei comments on Daido Roshi’s teachings from his book “The Zen of Creativity” and talks about the meaning of her own prolific art practice.
