“Koan meditation is based on uncertainty and was invented for a difficult era. For these reasons, it helps us to be friendly with our time, to find a way to make decisions, to love the life we have. With all the difficulties, it’s good to be alive.” Register to join John Tarrant Roshi for Sunday morning meditations in September.

To talk together about the deepest matters, and to set ourselves in harmony with the great current of the universe, is greater than anything we can imagine.” John Tarrant & PZI Teachers.
