This week with All Beings Zen Sangha

Saturday, November 14:  Book Discussion on Shohaku Okumura Roshi’s “Living by Vow,” 1pm-2:30pm EST in our online zendo.  Use this link to join.

We will begin with a short period of zazen at 1pm.  

Watch a short film produced by Okumura’s daughter Yuko titled “Sit”

Kōryū Naomi Knoble will offer some reflections on her study of the text.  

Then we will have ample time for dialogue and discussion of the text and Dharma teachings within it.

At 2:20 we will evaluate whether we should schedule additional time to meet regarding this book and conclude with a circle poem and chanting the 4 great vows.
