Living by Vow: The Four Bodhisattva Vows from Living By Vow

The Zen Study Group will resume on Wednesday, January 15.  Since the first Wednesday in January is New Year’s Day, and because there are five Wednesdays in January, the study group in January will be on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Wednesdays of the month rather than the normal 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Wednesdays.  The normal schedule will resume in February.

The study group will resume reading and discussing Shohaku Okumura’s book “Living By Vow.”  This book discusses in detail, as only Okumura can, the richness, beauty, and teachings of the chants used in routine Zen practice.  It deepens our understanding and appreciation of the words we say.

All our invited to attend the study group.
