Hōdō Zack Becker
Living in simplicity is possible, for everyone. This poem of just thirty-two lines, Song of the Grass Roof Hermitage, compassionately invites us to explore the dharma from a place of simplicity and faith in our own abilities. The author of the poem, 8th Century Zen Master Sekito Kisen, is widely recognized and celebrated for his eminent understanding.
Over the course of six weeks, we will read, sit with, and discuss this poem and our practice, accompanied by the book Inside the Grass Hut: Living Shitou's Classic Zen Poem by Ben Connelly.
Suitable for all Zen students, this class will invite us to slow down and return to our practice using these readings for support and contemplation.
Hōdō Zack Becker is a senior member of HZC and serves on the Board of Directors. He has been practicing Zen for more than 20 years. He is also a Lieutenant in the Houston Police Department.
