Good evening-
We've just finished a really busy three weeks here at Zen Center. We've
decided to extend the holiday break that is scheduled to begin this
weekend as the resident monks are feeling a bit tuckered out. We will
now be open through Saturday evening this week and then be closed on
Sunday the 24th- Friday the 29th. This includes canceling our normal
Tuesday morning sit at the Mattress Factory as well.
We will re-open Saturday morning on the 30th and have a normal Sunday
morning here on New Year's Eve.
And don't forget the New Year's Eve party! Beginning at 6 PM --potluck
music and food (6-9), burning all that we wish to be rid of (9-10),
zazen and ringing in the New Year (10-12), and finally the first meal of
the New Year-buckwheat noodles in dipping sauce-served by the resident
monks. (This is all very similar to the Japanese ceremony held at the
temple where I trained.)
In January we will have the following activities:
2-Ryaku Fusatsu*
4-Intro to Zen***
7-World Peace Ceremony**
12-14th-Sesshin***
16-Buddhist Studies Class begins****
19-Katagiri-roshi's Birthday**
25th-Intro to Zen***
26-Dogen's Birthday**
30-Ryaku Fusatsu*
*precept renewal ceremony following shortened evening zazen; open to all
**special morning service
***Please register for this activity
**** Our Buddhist Studies Class will begin January 16th at 7:15 PM. It
will continue for five weeks, take two weeks off and then resume for an
additional five weeks. This winter we will be studying the Vimalakirti
Sutra, using the Burton Watson translation. This early Mahayana text has
a lay person as the central teacher. We encourage you to have read the
sutra prior to the class, but you may join us at any time. The class is
suitable to all students, including beginners. Classes are always free
to pledging members but we suggest an $80 donation (if pre-paid;
otherwise $10/week) for the 10 weeks for non-members.
Hands palm-to-palm,
Kyoki
