Daishi Hoshi’s Dharma Talk, “Renunciation and the Backward Step of Zen,” February 19, 2026

What does it mean to renounce? In this talk, Daishi Hoshi draws on koan tradition, personal experience, and the pressures of contemporary life to explore what turning toward our desires, rather than fleeing or indulging them, makes possible. The Village Zendo is a community of people who come together to practice in the Soto Zen tradition. Based in downtown New York City, we offer zazen (sitting meditation), one-on-one instruction with a teacher, dharma talks, chanting services, retreats, workshops and study groups.
