Dear Sangha, This coming Wednesday, 8/12, is our monthly discussion of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind. We will be taking a closer look at the chapters on Naturalness (pg 107) and Emptiness (pg 111) found in Part 3 of the book.

Join us at 10:30 AM for an introduction to Zen meditation.  It's meant for people new to Zen meditation as well as practitioners with questions about their contemplative practice.  This informal get together is a recurring activity, the first Saturday of the month, and it lasts typically about 90 minutes.

Please join us for the continuation of our film series.   On Saturday, September 12th at 10:30 am, we will be showing Lost in Translation, followed by a discussion of how the film touches on themes in Zen teachings.

Dear friends, On Wednesday September 16 after the sitting at around 8pm we will be continuing our discussion of Zen Mind Beginner's Mind with a discussion of the chapter on Emptiness (p.137). Below you will find discussion questions. Please try to read the chapter if you can and consider the questions during this coming week.

This Saturday September 26 will be a Garden Work Day, from 10:30 AM to noon. We'll be doing some much-needed pruning, weeding, and general clean-up in the garden areas to keep our Kannon Do looking beautiful. Everyone is welcome to be part of the crew, children included, so please join in if you can.
