The Buddha taught his followers to practice Metta in response to fear. Looking out onto the world, you can take your pick of the things that might cause fear, worry, sadness, anger, despair. How can we meet these with courage and compassion? How can we meet this life in a way that sees clearly and is of benefit to ourselves and this suffering world? We will explore Metta, not as something to do or get, but as what we are. We can practice tapping this infinite source of generosity and open-heartedness. Including zazen, oryoki, dharma talks, and sanzen.
Led by visiting teachers Rev. Bansho Green and Jomon Martin, Sensei, from the Great Vow Zen Monastery.
Cost: $150 & dana.
Deadline for registration is July 7, 2024
