This Saturday June 27 at 10:30 we will have a Garden Work Day at Kannon Do. The garden continues to flourish, including the weeds, so we'll need to continue to keep up with them. We usually spend about sixty to ninety minutes working, but whatever time you can give will be much appreciated.
Dear Sangha, This Wednesday July 8 at 7:00pm, we will have our next monthly discussion of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind (pages 102 - 110).
Meditation is a practice that many of us do in isolation or pursue in a solitary manner. Even when we practice meditation within a community, many of us keep our practice and related insights to ourselves.
Please join us this coming Saturday July 18th at Kannon Do for our regular monthly sangha meeting beginning at 10:30. This monthly meeting is how we take care of the various tasks around Kannon Do and is a good way to learn more about how things are organized and to become involved more significantly.

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.
This day of mindfulness offers a rare opportunity to turn our awareness to the simple activities that sustain our lives, that we normally take for granted: breathing, walking, eating, being attentive to the workings of our mind.
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.
Please join us this coming Saturday at Kannon Do for our regular Sangha meeting beginning at 10:30. During monthly meetings, the Kannon Do board - and other members and friends who attend - review the operations of our center and ensure that all necessary tasks are being taken care of.
