Community Practice
Zen meditation is a great adventure in sitting still, in silence and spaciousness, experiencing our deepest nature. Practicing together, we both strengthen and polish each other’s insight and natural expressions of wisdom, compassion, and playfulness. We appreciate our innate unity, and also learn to work skillfully with and even celebrate our differences./

The Vital Way

A 6-week Online Course

Fridays, 9-10:30MT
May 3 – June 14 (no class June 7)
Online via Zoom
Our intention for this class is to engage the Buddha Way by studying and more fully experiencing the nature of Reality. As we recognize and attune as the fullness and the emptiness of all experience, we become naturally more responsive, more compassionate and more at ease with all aspects of our lives. As we more intimately encounter the Three Treasures (Jewels), we gain confidence in the perfection of this precious moment and we begin to function naturally in response to whatever is in the field of awareness. In this way, we extend our Zazen (Zen meditation) beyond the confines of our cushion to every moment.
