SUNDAY ZEN: In the Sea, 10,000 Feet Down, Lies a Single Stone – Koans That Give You Vertigo with John Tarrant & Friends
October 2, 2022 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Free – $10
Mysterious Task & Impossible Problem Koans
In the Sea of Ise,
ten thousand feet down,
lies a single stone.
I want to pick up that stone
without getting my hands wet.
—PZI Miscellaneous Koans, Case 27
The koan is from an 8th century C.E. imperial Japanese song, one of the few Japanese koans in our curriculum. The Shrine at Ise is the Japanese indigenous religion Shinto’s most sacred site. It is also sacred to foxes.
—John Tarrant
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
