Sunday, October 4: Vine Practice Session Invitation
Sunday, October 11: Guest teacher Meido Moore Roshi!
Greetings,
Our upcoming Sunday group practice session will be offered from 10:00 to 11:15am Central Time. Following a brief period of zazen, a talk will be offered that continues our early-fall series, "Vowing Like Your Life Depends On It." This Sunday, the focus is Part 3: Implementing the Vows.
You are invited to attend.
We will use Torei Zenji's chapter "Faith and Practice" from his superlative classic, The Inexhaustible Lamp of the Zen School as the text. From Torei Zenji:
"The Sutra of the Pure Name states, 'If you are bound yourself, you cannot untie another's bonds.' So we seek the completion of wisdom for the sake of all living beings, and in order to attain it, we first need to see into true nature (kensho)."
Upcoming in the series
