SUNDAY ZEN with Tess Beasley & Friends: Knowing How to Beat the Drum
REGISTER
So often the contents of the mind become worn out, but what to do with ourselves if we’re not chasing them around anymore or asking what they mean?
An old Chinese teacher, Hoshan, spoke about it like this:
“Studying—we call that ‘hearing’; completing study is called ‘getting nearer’. Going beyond both of these is what we mean by ‘truly going beyond’.”
A student stepped out of the assembly and asked, “What’s truly going beyond?”
Hoshan replied, “Knowing how to beat the drum.”
Join us Sunday for meditation, music to die for, and an exploration of just what Hoshan means with all this drum business.
—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
