Zen Study
(Fall 2025)
Genjokoan: The Koan of the Present Moment
Wednesdays 5:30-6:45pm PT
Led by Lucy Laoshi
Description:
This fall we will gather weekly to study Genjōkōan, one of the most studied fascicles of Dōgen’s masterwork Shōbōgenzō. This classic teaching on the heart of practice and realization invites us to meet each moment fully and live with clarity and compassion. Each session will include sitting meditation to support our practice, followed by reading passages, reflection, and sharing how the text resonates in our own lives.
The sessions are hybrid. While participation is on a drop-in basis, we encourage you to attend as consistently as possible to fully benefit from the practice and discussions.
Schedule:
Wednesdays (PT)
5:30pm meditation (25-30 min)
6:00pm study and discussions (45 min)

"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?"
