5 Mondays, January 6 - February 5, 6:30-8:30 pm. Taught by Jitsudo Tom Biddle
Dōgen Zenji, the founder of Soto Zen in Japan, was one of the great writers of the age.
This class will venture into an exploration of The Scripture of Mountains and Waters. Dōgen's writing causes shifts in perspective, which can be a liberating experience.
Discussions will include essential Zen themes:
The interpenetration of phenomenal existence and emptiness
The limitations of fixed views
The importance of discussion, even when the topics are difficult to put into words
Designed for those who have taken the introduction to Zen Meditation series and practitioners with an interest in exploring the strikingly innovative, and challenging, re-conception of Buddhist thought brought about by the thirteenth century founder of the Soto Zen school in Japan.
Join Jitsudo Tom Biddle in an exploration of the content and extent of Dōgen Zenji’s profound teachings.
Each class begins with meditation.
