Zen Meditation and Practice

By invitation following attendance at Zen Buddhism class.

Buddhist training allows for a deep transformation in the heart, allowing us to realize the truth of the Buddha's words on his awakening that "All beings are fully endowed with the Tathagata's Wisdom and Strength". With this realization comes the development of good will, compassion, joy and serenity; as well as peace of heart and a willingness to be of use.

For this profound transformation to take place safely and not go awry, spiritual training must be followed heedfully in a dedicated way. This class is therefore for those well motivated to the cultivation of moment by moment awareness and working most carefully with the emotions that arise. There will be opportunities to have personal talks with an experienced teacher to address any difficulties with correctly interpreting the teachings and applying them in daily life.
