Sunday, June 28: Vine Practice Session Invitation
Kokyo Henkel Osho

Greetings,

Our upcoming Sunday group practice session will be offered from 10:00 to 11:15am Central Time. Following a brief period of zazen, Kokyo Henkel Osho will give a guest teacher talk on "The Sixfold Consciousness" based on Tenshin Anderson Roshi's The Third Turning of the Wheel, Chapter Four: "The Psychological Dimension," pp. 60-65. In the sutra itself, just paragraphs 5-6 will be addressed this week. You can find the sutra text here.

Kokyo Osho is a successor of Tenshin Anderson Roshi and co-leads the Bright Window Hermitage with his wife, Shoho Kuebast.

The Buddha begins the paragraphs in the sutra about the sixth consciousness like this:

“Visalamati, the sixfold collection of consciousness—the eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness, and mind consciousness—arises depending upon and abiding in that appropriating consciousness."

You are invited to attend. See the protocols and Zoom link below.
