The world recognizes us. Anything that touches us holds all meetings. Everything that will happen follows the time—we don’t need to know what happens next, we walk along in our own life now. Register to join us in the PZI Digital Temple on Sunday. All are welcome.

This one-day retreat led by John Tarrant & Friends kicks off our month-long June intensive on The Blue Cliff Record. Offered in the spirit of an Open House, we’ve reduced our usual retreat price to welcome both new and experienced practitioners to the koan tradition and our PZI Way.

All are welcome to join the PZI community for daily meditation in the month of June, part of our June Intensive. PZI senior leaders will offer morning koan meditation in the PZI Digital Temple every day June 1-30, and intensive meditation on two Saturdays, June 12 & 19. Our intensive effort culminates in the PZI Summer Sesshin, June 22-27. Daily meditation will continue and carry us a few mornings afterward through June 30.

Vows as Koans – Through meditation, talks and lively discussion, we’ll discover how the pure land of consciousness is far more vast and fluid than “doing the right thing,” and how—tucked inside our fixed views—there lies our invitation to freedom. 3 Mondays: June 7, 14& 21.

The Blue Cliff Record is the first and greatest of the koan collections, a book of wonders assembled the way autumn piles leaves; it has predicaments and impossible tasks, snatches of poetry and haunting wisdom, gratuitous insults and precipitous journeys. It has tea ladies who were secret masters offering turning words along with tea and cake; we will also meet dragons. Join John Tarrant & Friends for Summer Sesshin (retreat) in the PZI Digital Temple. All are welcome, register to participate.

June is Open Temple Month at PZI. Welcome to a month of meditation and community practice.
