Sundays in the Garden

Join us on Sunday mornings from 10-12 for the opportunity to engage in (mostly) silent work-practice in the beautiful Austin Zen Center garden, led by long-term practitioner Sherry Mason! Garden activities may include pruning, digging, planting, mulching, raking, path-maintenance and more general clean-up.

We do not hold this event every Sunday of the year. Check the website to be sure there is Garden Practice the Sunday you wish to attend. www.austinzencenter.org

The Dharma Discussion Group meets online via Zoom on Thursday evenings from 7 to 8:15 PM. Currently the group is reading the book Crooked Cucumber by David Chadwick. We sit for about five minutes and share some tea, before beginning to read the book together. There is no need to purchase the book or read it ahead of time. We read a section of the book together out loud and then discuss it. No prior knowledge of the book or involvement in the group is required.

All are welcome!

Please come share a group discussion about this wonderful book. Join us on ZOOM!

• What we'll do
This group evolved out of the Buddhist Book group and was meeting weekly to promote engaged practice and Dharma discussion within a number of different venues: we have studied materials on mindfulness practice & koans, have held kitchen-practice sessions with shared meals, held movie and discussion nights, and have participated in Conversation Cafes with the larger sangha. Our main interest is in collaborative engagement and discussion of our individual and shared practice in a warm, friendly and contemplative atmosphere.
