The next Study Group will begin on Thursday, October 11th from 7:30pm to 8:50 pm. We plan to meet for a total of seven times, ending on November 29th. This group is a continuation of the previous Study Group. We will continue reading in The Essence of Zen. It is perfectly acceptable to join this group even if you were not part of the previous group. The Essence of Zen is a book that we can open any section and we will immediately be in touch with the important points of Zen practice. We will sit in zazen for the last 30 minutes of each class. The cost is $15 for temple members and $40 for non-temple members. We look forward to seeing you there. If you wish to attend, please email webmaster@zenshuji.org
