Friday, August 16, 2024 – 7pm    ABZS re-launched having Dharma Movie Nights.  Eight people came in person to view and discuss a  documentary about famous Painter and Translator Kay Tanahashi . See below for a short video about the film.

“Painting Peace: The Art of Kazuaki Tanahashi,” is a film about the artist, calligrapher, translator, and peace activist known as Kaz Tanahashi. Featuring exchanges with Sojun Mel Weitsman Roshi, Dairyu Michael Wenger Roshi, and Kaz himself, among many others, this exquisitely-filmed, and seldom-seen Dutch documentary opens a window into the life of a key figure in the dialogue between Asian and European cultures. 

Here is the link to a short youtube video about the film

Our next film viewing will be: Perfect Days on October 4, 2024

July 9-14 2024 All Beings Zen Sangha at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center

Monday, July 1, 2024 7pm-8pm. Planning meeting for NEW Dharma Book Club –

Starting this summer interested membersof the All Beings Zen Sangha are warmly welcome to join sangha member Shoku Doshin in a new dharma book club. If you are interested please reach out to Shoku (Cristina) on email at cristinamariabenavides@gmail.com.

Our objective is to provide a semi-casual space for Dharma book discussion. We will focus on books or essays written for lay audiences, mostly focusing on books with an explicit Buddhist perspective but with an openness to non-Buddhist books with nonetheless rich themes for exploration — the dharma is everywhere! 

The current thinking is to meet monthly online, in coordination with Inryǔ Sensei as there may be months where the sangha has a different dharma study focus for Ango or through our library and vast Branching Streams network. 
If you are interested please reach out to Shoku (Cristina) on email at cristinamariabenavides@gmail.com.

We are asking for as many participants as are interested and also a few volunteers to help ensure the book club continues steadily if other parts of life require the attention the organizers.

Let’s gather on zoom on Monday July 1st at 7pm to decide upon guidelines for participation and to select books for August and September. Use this link to join. If asked for a password use 606657
