There’s a solitary brightness without fixed shape or form.
It knows how to listen to the teachings,
it knows how to understand the teachings, it knows how to teach.
That solitary brightness is you.
—Linji
Marichi manifests the eternal dawn that dwells within us and calls on us to awaken, change, and enlighten the world.
Join us as we sit together in community, to usher out 2025, and usher in the return of the light.
We’ll begin at 6:00 am Eastern (3:00 am Pacific) with continuous periods of 25-minutes meditation and 5-minutes break. A number of our Open Temple leaders have volunteered to make this possible, so they’ll be passing the baton every few periods, and you’re welcome to join at any time.
At 10:00 am Pacific Time, we will have a 30–minute break before Sunday Zen begins at 10:30 am Pacific Time. Tess Beasley, Roshi will cap our morning with Sunday’s temple, music, and talk.
We would love to see you for any or all of the event.
Bring your silence, candlelight, and your light & dark to join others on screen.
Meditation is not a task with a known goal. It’s something you can’t do wrong, a chance for the things of this world to come towards you and to meet you, for doors to open by themselves, and for us to see where the ancient paths lead.
Waking up is something we do together, in the online temple on Sunday. We love it when you join us.
—John Tarrant Roshi and all of us at PZI
