SUMMARY:Deep Sit Sunday Zen with John Tarrant & Tess Beasley
DESCRIPTION:Link coming soon!\n\nMeditation can’t be praised enough.\nThe benefits of generosity and discipline\,\nprayer\, self-reflection\, and practice\,\nhave their source in meditation.\n\nWith what we gain from just one sitting\,\nall our crimes are wiped away.  \n—Hakuin Ekaku \nEnlightenment happens inside this life that we have. It’s not some other more satisfactory life with special conditions. So you set off! \nYou go through one archway\, and then you go through a second\, and then a third archway\, and eventually your worries fall away\, though you didn’t ask them to\, all desperation falls away and any cause of suffering in the mind is illuminated. Life after life you have been doing this and it’s not a surprise that you come eventually to the Buddha\, who is sitting on an ordinary zafu smiling\, and Buddha says\, “Yes\, that’s it\, you are doing it alright\, just do zazen like that!” and happiness comes over you. \nMeditation is also extra good if you do it together with friends. \nJoin us this Sunday. \n—John Tarrant\, Roshi \n\nSchedule (ALL TIMES PACIFIC): \n9AM – 11AM – Meditation & Music with Open Temple Leaders \n11AM – 12PM – Meditation\, Poetry & Reflections with John Tarrant\, Allison Atwill\, Tess Beasley & Friends \n\n\n\n \nMeditation 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. \n\n\nWaking up is something we do together\, in the online temple on Sunday. We love it when you join us.  \n—John Tarrant\, Roshi and all of us at PZI
