"You must know that when time is ready, means that there is not a single moment through the twelve hours of the day that you spend in vain. The time is ready mean the time has always and already come. If the time had come, the buddha-nature would not come. Therefore, because the time has always and already come, it is the manifestation of the buddha-nature right in front of you."  - Master Dogen, Bussho

Is the nature of reality fixed or in flux? If fixed, why is one subject to change? If in flux, where can one stand?

The Encountering One Self Workshop explores our relationship to the impermanence of time. We will meet the first Tuesday in April, May, and June starting with zazen at 7:00 PM and the workshop following from 7:45 - 8:45 PM. There will also be two opportunities for weekend stargazing for the Lyrid Meteor Shower and Venus/Jupiter. Through a meeting of art, poetry, practice, and stargazing one may glimpse the 'readiness of time.'

"When time is ready the buddha-nature reveals all by itself in front of you." - Dogen, Bussho

Optional Zazen from 7:00pm - 7:30pm
