Koan for next week = Blue Cliff Record #34: ‘Five Elders Peak’ Gyozan asked a monk, “Where have you just come from?” The monk said, “Cottage Mountain.” Gyozan said, “Did you visit Five Elders Peak?” The monk said, “I never got there.” Gyozan said, “You never traveled the mountain.” Ummon remarked, “This talk was all a conversation in the weeds for the sake of compassion.” | |

Meditation: Silent meditation allows you to practice your own specific method, so long as it does not disturb others (please mute your zoom if needed). Group meditation practice is helpful to support your efforts with shared experience, understanding, and encouragement. A good teacher will encourage you to practice and present you with new ways to perceive it, perhaps simply by their own good example. In this weekly meditation practice, I share a variety of thoughts and exercises to help you discover and regularly practice at the deepest levels, and demonstrate the same based on extensive experience. While Zoom provides a more distant connection with the group than in-person practice, it does have a group practice experience that many have found beneficial.
If you want to do more than calm yourself…if you feel a need to recover yourself and be more centered or perhaps even understand yourself better and strive toward liberation/enlightenment/heaven, then join our practice.
