SUMMARY:Zen Brush Art Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join One Heart Sangha and Washington Ethical Society for a Zen brush art workshop. Sensei Bob JinGen Ertman\, who has studied brush art and calligraphy extensively with Japanese masters\, will be leading the workshop.  \n\n\n\n\n\nEnso by Sensei Bob\n\n\n\n\n\nBrush 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. There is no right or wrong in Zen art\, only what is present for the artist in the moment each brush stroke is made. \n\n\n\nAdvance registration is required so we can be sure we have enough space and materials on hand. The workshop is free. It will be in the main hall at Washington Ethical Society.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you would like to support the organizers\, we welcome you to donate to Washington Ethical Society\, who is generously providing space for the workshop. \n\n\n\nIf you have questions\, write info@oneheartsangha.org. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInkbush image designed by  Freepik – Magnific.com

SUMMARY:Bearing Witness at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum
DESCRIPTION:One Heart Sangha 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. Afterwards Sensei Bob\, who has been to Auschwitz ten times as part of his Zen Peacemaker practice\, will lead a Way of Council. \n\n\n\nIt is important to understand that the practice of bearing witness is boundless. The museum may prompt feelings or thoughts about events that have happened since the WWII Holocaust\, or even events that are seemingly unrelated. Anything that appears in your heart-mind before\, during\, or after the museum visit is a valid and important part of this practice.  \n\n\n\nAttendance is free and OHS will be providing timed entry tickets to the main exhibit. Registration is required and will be limited to 25 attendees. \n\n\n\n\n\nPlan on arriving by 10:30 AM at the latest and go through security on your own. The lines may be over 15 minutes on a Saturday. We will gather inside the museum to hand out tickets at 10:50 AM and enter together at 11 AM. Please watch your email for more details as the event approaches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease review this important information in advance\n\n\n\n\nUse the Museum’s 14th Street entrance.\n\n\n\nItems not allowed in the Museum include: guns\, all knives\, mace\, pepper spray\, and other weapons. Food and drink are prohibited\, except as medically necessary. You may drink water from capped bottles.\n\n\n\nThe USHMM Building Policies has a full list of prohibited items.\n\n\n\nWe suggest looking over the Tips for your Visit page.\n\n\n\nUSHMM Accessibility information\n\n\n\n\nGetting to the Museum\n\n\n\nThe nearest Metro stop is Smithsonian on the Orange\, Blue\, and Silver lines\, located one block east of the Museum. Multiple buses also stop at the museum. USHMM does not have parking so if you need to drive consider reserving a parking space using ParkMobile or SpotHero.

SUMMARY:Reflection on the Precepts - "Capstone" Council Fire Circle
DESCRIPTION:Calling All Current and Former Precept Students!Please join the One Heart Sangha 2026 Precept Study Class to reflect on the Tenth Grave Precept I vow to honor my life as the life of a Peacemaker. This is the practice of Not Thinking Ill of the Three Treasures. I will not speak ill of The Three Treasures nor create conditions for others to do so. I will recognize myself and others as manifestations of Buddha\,Dharma and Sangha. \n\n\n\nWe we spend time in Council together reflecting in respectful interaction (in the manner of a ZPO Fire Circle) with one another on how the Precepts are alive with us\, how they permeate our lives\, how they challenge us to Wake Up!  \n\n\n\nIf you’ve been through Jukai\, bring your experience of continuing to live with the Precepts – and for those who have been working with the Precepts this year\, bring your reflections on how they have become more than words on a page. \n\n\n\nA calendar invitation will be sent to the OHS Sitting and Jukai groups.

SUMMARY:Summer Mini-Ango
DESCRIPTION:One Heart Sangha is offering a 4-week Mini Ango. The Mini Ango provides a supportive structure to commit to an additional level of practice for a set period of time. The primary purpose of the Mini Ango is to deepen your practice\, renew your commitment to the Dharma\, and if you like\, make a commitment to other aspects that can help make positive changes in your life. \n\n\n\nRead below for more details if you are new to our Mini Ango.  \n\n\n\nRemote Meeting Dates\n\n\n\n\nJune 23 at 6:15PM-7:00PM\n\n\n\nJune 30 at 6:15PM-7:00PM\n\n\n\nJuly 7 at 6:15PM-7:00PM\n\n\n\nJuly 14 at 6:15PM-7:00PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants should commit to increased Zazen for the duration of the Mini Ango. For example\, participants can pledge to sit one extra day per week or increase their sitting time. You can be specific about the amount of time you want to commit to each day (or specific days)\, or be more flexible and commit to a certain amount of extra Zazen per week. In addition to increased Zazen\, participants may commit to other beneficial activities including: \n\n\n\n\nReading a book about Zen or a book related to your practice\n\n\n\nYoga\n\n\n\nVolunteer work\n\n\n\nSew a rakusu\n\n\n\nChant the Meal Gatha before eating\n\n\n\nReciting the Five Remembrances every day\n\n\n\nCommit to a street retreat\n\n\n\nCommit to a mindfulness practice (such as mindful eating\, listening\, driving etc.)\n\n\n\n\nYou can also commit to cutting back on activities that may hamper or interfere with your attention or practice. For example: \n\n\n\n\nConsume less junk food\n\n\n\nSpend less time on the Internet and/or social media\n\n\n\nNot staying up too late at night\n\n\n\nWatch less TV\n\n\n\n\nCommitments should be realistic and attainable. It’s best to select one or two commitments that are manageable rather than selecting too many or taking on too much.  \n\n\n\nIn addition to the commitments\, registrants will take part in four remote meetings. The meetings provide registrants with an opportunity to share their Mini Ango experiences and learn from each other.   \n\n\n\nFor more information contact Bruce Lindsay

SUMMARY:Shukke Tokudo – Sensei Museidō
DESCRIPTION:Sensei Museidō is “Leaving (and Not Leaving) Home”\n\n\n\nYou are cordially invited to attend the Shukke Tokudo of Sensei Rebecca Museidō on May 10\, 2026 at the Riverview Retreat Center in Centreville\, MD. This is the Zen Buddhist ceremony of Leaving Home. This is the first step on the path of a monk (or in our White Plum Asanga tradition\, a “priest”). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Significance of Shukke Tokudo\n\n\n\nIn our Sōtō Zen tradition\, Shukke Tokudo marks the moment of “leaving home\,” not necessarily in a literal sense\, but as a profound turning of one’s life toward the Buddha Way. It is the formal entry into priest training\, grounded in the vows to awaken for the benefit of all beings. \n\n\n\nThis ceremony is not merely symbolic; it is a living transmission of intention\, discipline\, and lineage. It is a vocation. Through shaving the head\, receiving robes\, and taking vows\, the ordinand embodies a commitment to practice that is at once deeply personal and inseparable from the wider sangha. It is both a beginning and a continuation—an entry into a stream that has flowed uninterrupted for centuries. \n\n\n\nThis year\, Roshi Ed Sullivan Sangetsu of Red Rose Sangha and Sensei Jon Seichō Kenzen McCollum are honored to present the following candidates for Shukke Tokudo: \n\n\n\n• Sensei Rebecca Museidō Hawes \n\n\n\n• Dharma Holder Mike Dōshin Shanahan \n\n\n\n• Allison Shōkyo Ehrman \n\n\n\n• Davi Shōrei Hayes \n\n\n\n• Len Sōkai Sitnick \n\n\n\nFriends and family attending the ceremony at 11:00am on Sunday should bring bag lunches (if staying for the reception) and arrive by 10:30. \n\n\n\nIf they have received precepts\, they may wear their rakusu as well.

SUMMARY:ILMA Center Interfaith Iftar
DESCRIPTION:Imam Papa Bboup is inviting the Washington Ethical Society\, One Heart Sangha\, and Fabrangen to the ILMA Center’s Interfaith Iftar. Iftar is the prayer service and evening meal that breaks the daily fast during Ramadan.  \n\n\n\nThis invitation only applies to One Heart Sangha\, Fabrangen\, and WES. If you are a member of another religious group you must contact IMLA before attending. \n\n\n\nParking: Large free outdoor parking next door at Veterans Plaza.  \n\n\n\nHow to get there: There are various buses that come to the vicinity of Veterans Place\, but the best way is a taxi or car.  When you enter the Civic Building\, the Iftar is usually on the ground floor.  \n\n\n\nWhat to do there: As you enter the room\, you’ll see where people have left their shoes.  ILMA people will be standing around and will stand for their prayer services. In the past\, seating for guests has been provided along the left wall of the room. \n\n\n\nWhat will happen: The prayer services have the men and boys standing toward the front of the room and the women and girls standing toward the back of the room.  There’s no particular sorting of the guests. The prayer service ends with a sermon by Imam Papa Mboup.  After his sermon\, he’ll probably ask some of the guests to speak. \n\n\n\nFood: After the prayer service\, sermon and guest speaking\, they’ll serve the food and drinks. Vegetarian options will be available
