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 as we take up the koan: \nYunmen taught\, “Everybody has a light inside. When you’re looking for it\, you\ncan’t see; it’s obscured in the dimness. What is this light that everybody has?”\nHe answered his own question\, “The kitchen pantry\, the entrance gate.”\nThen he said\, “It’s better to have nothing than to have something good.” \n—Blue Cliff Record\, Case 86\n(transl. by John Tarrant & Joan Sutherland) \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\, 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 URL:https://www.pacificzen.org/event/april-26-26-deep-sit/ LOCATION:PZI Online Temple CATEGORIES:PZI Zen Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.pacificzen.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Tesshu-Takasago2-1_500.png ORGANIZER;CN="John Tarrant & Tess Beasley":MAILTO:johntarrant@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Santiago:20260426T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Santiago:20260426T113000 DTSTAMP:20260424T043940 CREATED:20260217T160736Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260217T160736Z UID:10002301-1777195800-1777203000@www.pacificzen.org SUMMARY:DOMINGO ZEN con Eduardo Fuentes (En español) DESCRIPTION:REGISTRARSE\n\nDomingo 26 de abril\nde 9:30 a 11:30 hrs (Hora estándar de Chile)\nPráctica guiada por Sensei Eduardo Fuentes\nUn evento en línea de PZI\n\n\n\n\n\n \n  \nÚnanse a nosotros el domingo para meditación con koans\, charla dharma y conversación.

It means “to go alone” or “to practice alone.” It is to have a conversation so intimate\, that for both participants it is as if you were talking with and listening to yourself. \nThe word “conversation” (in place of the Japanese word dokusan) has its own way of speaking to the experience. \nEtymologically\, it means “to turn around together.” Meditation is often referred to as a turning around of our attention towards the inside. These conversations about meditation practice are an opportunity for a mutual turning the light around and exploring what’s there. \n—David Weinstein \n\nSaturday Conversations with David Weinstein Roshi\nOnline on Zoom from 8–10:00 am Pacific Time\nEvery two weeks\, schedule permitting \nIf you are a PZI Member and would like to have a conversation with David\,\nbook your 15-minute online meeting for May 9th here. \nDana gratefully accepted \nQuestions?

It means “to go alone” or “to practice alone.” It is to have a conversation so intimate\, that for both participants it is as if you were talking with and listening to yourself. \nThe word “conversation” (in place of the Japanese word dokusan) has its own way of speaking to the experience. \nEtymologically\, it means “to turn around together.” Meditation is often referred to as a turning around of our attention towards the inside. These conversations about meditation practice are an opportunity for a mutual turning the light around and exploring what’s there. \n—David Weinstein \n\nSaturday Conversations with David Weinstein Roshi\nOnline on Zoom from 8–10:00 am Pacific Time\nEvery two weeks\, schedule permitting \nIf you are a PZI Member and would like to have a conversation with David\,\nbook your 15-minute online meeting for May 23rd here. Link coming soon! \nDana gratefully accepted \nQuestions?

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 URL:https://www.pacificzen.org/event/may-31-26-deep-sit/ LOCATION:PZI Online Temple CATEGORIES:PZI Zen Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.pacificzen.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Tesshu-Takasago2-1_500.png ORGANIZER;CN="John Tarrant & Tess Beasley":MAILTO:johntarrant@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Santiago:20260531T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Santiago:20260531T113000 DTSTAMP:20260424T043940 CREATED:20260404T110559Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260404T110559Z UID:10002345-1780219800-1780227000@www.pacificzen.org SUMMARY:DOMINGO ZEN con Eduardo Fuentes (En español) DESCRIPTION:REGISTRARSE\n\nDomingo 31 de mayo\nde 9:30 a 11:30 hrs (Hora estándar de Chile)\nPráctica guiada por Sensei Eduardo Fuentes\nUn evento en línea de PZI\n\n\n\n\n\n \n  \nÚnanse a nosotros el domingo para meditación con koans\, charla dharma y conversación.
