SUNDAY ZEN with Tess Beasley & Friends: Where All the Buddha’s Teachings Have Their Source
This is the cave where all the Buddha’s teachings have their source.
So goes the companion verse to the first Pure Vow: I vow to do no harm.
Bodhidharma sat in a cave for nine years, allowing the whole universe to slowly appear inside. The world carried on its rending and machinations, and he felt them deeply, but came to know something generous and whole that carried him and carried everything; without gain or loss, without certainty or regret.
In taking up a practice, we too develop a relationship with a place we can turn, no matter the circumstances. Its contents are surprising and mysterious, its capacity vast and bright.
Join us Sunday for meditation, music, and stories of spelunking the ancient caves we uncover inside.
—Tess Beasley Roshi
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
