SUNDAY ZEN with Tess Beasley & Friends: Finding a True Place, a True Word, a True Life.

October 26, 2025 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm

Great Linji said,
“Wherever you are, just take the role of host,
and that place will be a true place.”

And yet, it’s not so easy sometimes. Saying, even knowing, what’s true can be hard. Hearing what’s true can be hard, too, though somehow a relief to the part of us that sides with awakening.

Meditation clears space inside so the full splendor of reality can appear without all our adornments and disguises and objections. We learn to recognize it and its thusness, it becomes an ally in the end.

Join us this Sunday for tales from our Great Fall Sesshin and for companionship and music in the ancient hall.

—Tess Beasley


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
