DESCRIPTION:In this Fall online study group\, we will read and discuss Dogen’s fascicle “Receiving the Marrow by Bowing” (using the translation from “Treasury of the True Dharma Eye: Zen Master Dogen’s Shobo Genzo”  by Kazuaki Tanahashi).

SUMMARY:Practicing the Ways Retreat - Vipassana and Zen
DESCRIPTION:This retreat will explore the liberatory practices of Vipassana and Zen and how they intersect and complement each other.   \n\n\n\nPrimarily\, we will focus on the Therigatha\, the songs of awakening voiced by our First Buddhist women ancestors. We will read aloud the songs\, offer dharma talks\, meditation\, and group discussions. The retreat will be co-led by Dr. Patrice Koelsch and Rev.
