Why then, even if we do Zazen, does our mind not become pure? Still finding pleasure in doing what is not best for our practice and unable to become that pure mind like a baby-this is because we are filled with data from our whole past, from the past of all beings. Nobody wants to see and acknowledge that,but we are not born out of thin air. We live within a narrow-minded version of a much bigger picture.
Harada Roshi.

To study the Buddha Way is to study the self.
To study the self is to forget the self.
To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things.
When actualized by myriad things, your body and mind as well as the bodies and minds of others drop away.
No trace of realization remains, and this no trace continues endlessly.
Dogen.

What we do:
Are you interested in Meditation ? Perhaps you would be interested in our evening of Meditation? Our tradition is that of Rinzai Zen, our teacher Harada Roshi.
Our main practice during the evening is Zazen, seated Meditation practice. Sitting together in silence we turn our attention inward and seek to awaken to the truth of that which we truly are.
We start the evening with taichi qigong shibashi standing practice, followed by Zazen and end with chanting of the Heart Sutra.
