Register now for Sunday, August 9 with Michelle Riddle Sensei. Join us for any one or all Sunday talks. Return to register weekly to get the link. We’re featuring four women teachers of Pacific Zen Institute and Open Source this August, in lieu of our usual Sunday program. Let’s gather with all the faces of the Goddess – next talk, ‘Earth’.

The source of awakening, the source of the very play of the universe, is a mystery – and ultimately, perhaps unknowable. But in working with koans, one thing we can experience and know, time and again, are their qualities of spontaneity, dynamism and freedom. Rather than painting by numbers, we join in the free-hand expression of the world.

SUMMER 2019 – In this issue of Uncertainty Club we have fire, water, the goddess, and long reads for the end of summer. 
The connection between Chan and the feminine feel for the world is ancient. It begins with an appreciation for beauty.

Audio PZI Zen Online: Sarah Bender Roshi unfolds a beautiful guided koan meditation from GGcase 42. Who is this mysterious girl who keeps company with Shakyamuni? She who can not be wakened except by ‘Delusive Wisdom’ or Momiyo from the underworld? When did she arrive? What is this insistence that wakes us? Waking or not waking, it is all ‘an elegant performance!’ As recorded July 8 2020.
