We will start with 5 minutes of silent tea drinking and conclude the discussion with the four great vows. Use this link to join. If asked for a password use 897614. Cristina says “I will talk about Suzuki-Roshi’s teaching on ” The Zen of Going to the Restroom, from Not Always So :). To get people ready, in case they are not familiar, please know that this is not a talk about literally going to the bathroom.

“Fortunately or unfortunately, even though you don’t like it, we need to go to the rest room, the stinky rest room. I am sorry, but I think we have to go to the rest room as long as we live.” – Suzuki Roshi
