A Day of Awakening

Friday, June 17th, 2011

lotus3Chiyono was widowed at 32 and could not get over her grief. She came to the teacher Bukko and asked “What is Zen?” Bukko replied, “The heart of the one who asks is Zen.”

Heart of Awakening: An Introduction to Zen Practice will be offered by Andrew Palmer, Sensei, on Saturday, July 9.

The day will include meditation instruction; practices of concentration, awareness and inquiry; working with koans; looking at liturgy, history and more as we explore how we weave this ancient Way and our modern lives into one.

When: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, July 9.

Where: The Woman’s Club, 20 Mesa Road, Colorado Springs

Cost: $20 (lunch will be provided)
