We are having a busy fall at One Heart Sangha.
On October 3, we will be bearing witness to the WWII Holocaust by visiting the National Holocaust Memorial Museum in downtown Washington DC. Bearing witness is an important step in the Zen Peacemakers Three Tenets of Engaged Buddhism. By not knowing, setting aside our fixed notions and ideas about the Holocaust, we can bear witness to what arises in our hearts and minds as we tour the museum. The event is free, but you must register in advance. Visit the event page to learn more.
On October 10, we will be holding a Jukai ceremony after a shortened morning Zazenkai and Shusho Hossen. Our three students who are taking vows have been studying, sewing rakusus, and working on their lineage charts all year. Please join us for the morning Zazenkai, Jukai ceremony, or both. Register here.
Finally, on Sunday, November 10 Sensei Bob will be offering a Zen Brush Art workshop. Brush art is a Japanese art form typically featuring natural subjects, Japanese characters, or traditional shapes like the circular enso. Zen brush art emphasizes spontaneity and minimalism, contrasting black ink and white paper. Learn more and sign up on the event page.
