Compass of Zen: Zen Part 1

Saturday, October 26 10:30 a.m. With Zen Master Bon Hae (Judy Roitman). On Zoom. $15 requested, contact us if you need the fee waived. The class is based on Zen Master Seung Sahn’s Compass of Zen. We will be reading and discussing the chapters The Classification of Meditation; Utmost Vehicle Zen; Nonattachment to Language; The Special Transmission; Pointing Directly to Mind; See Your True Nature, Become Buddha; Kong-an and All Cases; Sitting in Zen Meditation; The Great Enlightenment; Methods of Meditation; The Three Essential Elements of Zen. (It looks like a lot but it’s less than 70 pages.) The class is based on student discussion: each participant will speak for a few minutes on what struck them and what questions they had, then the teacher will respond, and then there will be a general discussion. In order for everyone to have the opportunity to speak, the class is limited to 15 participants.
