Sunday, August 2: Vine Practice Session Invitation

"If we ever wake up and understand what alaya really is, alaya would become the great, bright mirror wisdom."

Sunday, August 2: Vine Practice Session Invitation

Greetings,

Our upcoming Sunday group practice session will be offered from 10:00 to 11:15am Central Time. Following a brief period of zazen, Shujo, the head seat, will offer a talk on transforming the storehouse consciousness (alaya vijnana). Tenshin Anderson Roshi addresses this topic in his commentary, The Third Turning of the Wheel, "Transforming Alaya," pp. 68-75.

You are invited to attend this practice session. If you are interested in becoming a Vine student, this is a good time to begin the process by attending this session.

See the protocols and Zoom link below.

This talk is part of a series on Yogacara or Mind-Only teachings. Tenshin Roshi writes:

"Alaya is the base upon which defiling manas creates a sense of self and other over and over again in our lives. If we ever wake up and understand what alaya really is, alaya would become the great, bright mirror wisdom."
