“Our ‘original mind’ includes everything within itself.   It is always rich and sufficient within itself.  You should not lose your self-sufficient state of mind.  This does not mean a closed mind, but actually an empty mind and a ready mind.  If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything.  In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities; in th expert’s mind there are few.”

Join us for some meditation, and reading and discussion of these seminal teachings of Suzuki Roshi.  Please join any of the classes when you are able.  

Wednesdays, 6:30pm – 8pm in the Main Shrine Room.
