Zen Study Group
(Summer 2024)
Trust in Mind (Xin Xin Ming)
Wednesdays 5:30-6:45pm PDT,
July - September 2024
Led by Lucy Laoshi
Description:
This summer, our theme of study is "Trust in Mind" ("Xin Xin Ming", 信心銘), a poem by the third Chinese Zen ancestor, Master Sengcan (僧璨). This text holds great significance in the Zen tradition.
The study group is open to those with an ongoing meditation practice who wish to deepen their understanding of Zen. While this is a drop-in group, we encourage you to participate as fully as possible. Please contact us if you are interested in joining.
Schedule:
We meet weekly online and in person on Wednesdays at 5:30-6:45pm PDT.
5:30pm meditation
6:00pm study topic introduced by Lucy followed by discussions

"To study and at due times practice what one has studied,
is it not a pleasure?
When friends come join us from distant places,
is it not joy?"

學而時習之,不亦說乎?
有朋自遠方來,不亦樂乎?
