Ongoing Events
Newcomer Orientation: 2nd Monday of the month, CC Shove Chapel, Dharma Hall upstairs at 5:45 pm to meet anyone who would like some orientation to meditation, to our tradition, or to our sangha and customs.
Dharma Study and Discussion: Each Monday 5:15 pm, CC Shove Chapel, Dharma Hall downstairs.
Zen Threads: September 6, Saturday
Saturday morning’s meditation schedule will be a little different on the first Saturday of every month.
6:30 to 8:00 AM Three periods of meditation as before
8:00 AM Someone will give a brief talk or resonation (10-15 minutes). This might be to bring in something he or she has read, seen, heard, lived, noticed or a topic of interest, perhaps a question to raise with the group. Discussion will flow, and we’ll close with our vows at 8:25 as usual.
Once our nomadic Dharma hall is packed away, all who are interested will go to Wooglins for breakfast and more conversation.

Cultivating the Tao
Chuang Tzu: The Inner Chapters
Andrew Palmer, Sensei
Saturdays, 10:00-11:30, beginning September 13 at the Palmer Home (aka Shining Harbor Temple) 1007 W. Cuharras Street.
This will be less of a book study and more of an immersion into Chuang Tzu’s world, seeing what our lives are like when infused by his words and thoughts, stories and images. We’ll meet for 5 consecutive Saturday mornings. Reading material will be provided. Fee is $10 per session.
