Weekly Shedule 8th-14th January 2024

Tuesday evening 10th January we will sit 19.30 - 21.00 and in the middle period we’ll share our joys and sorrows.

Friday morning Zoom sitting 07.15 - 07.40 (and also most welcome in person, please take your place by 07.10), simple, almost unadorned, a tender morning unfolding of Buddha-nature. We start with En-Mei Jikku Kannon Gyo and finish with Ti- Sarana.

Next week we will pick up our study of the precepts with chapter twelve of Diane Eshin Rizetto’s Waking Up To What You Do - “I take up the way of supporting life”.

“Our life on this earth is not just a random event among billions of other random cosmic events that will pass away without trace, it is an integral component of the great and mysterious order of Being.” Václav Havel, The Art of the Impossible.

The Year Ahead: Our Spring Ango - Opening into Hope
Conscious of the incredible existential challenges of conflict and the climate emergency for our Spring Ango we will delve into a profound and uplifting essay by Roshi Joan Halifax on ‘Wise Hope in Social Engagement’ and we’ll look at it alongside an essay by Hannah Ritchie on being informed and engaged without succumbing to despair.

Precepts Study and Jukai
During the spring and early summer the sangha will joyfully celebrate Jukai with those who have completed the precepts study.

Zazenkai and Sesshin
Every second month there will be a Zazenkai, an extended day of quiet practice with a Teisho, and Daisan. In the late Spring there will also be a weekend Sesshin Friday afternoon 16.00 to Sunday at 16.00. Please ask Sensei for details.
