As always, Confluence Zen Center has a food booth at the Japanese Festival. We are always looking for people to help. Each shift is about 4 hours, and you may do as many or as few as you want. The sign-up sheet is at the center, and we appreciate all help, no matter how small. This is our primary funds generation project through the year, so by helping out, you also help the center.
As always, during this weekend, we are closed for the entire weekend. Zazen resumes Tuesday morning. Beginner’s Night is unaffected and will be on the 1st.
Due to excellent attendance at Beginner’s Night, we have decided that starting next month 02 February, Beginner’s Night will now be on Tuesday nights instead of Monday nights.
This is a permanent change and will be updated in the calendar and sidebar as well.
The schedule is as before: 6:30 PM for instruction on Zen, meditation, and zendo rules, followed by two shorter periods of sitting meditation (zazen) with walking meditation (kinhin) in between.
As always, if you have any questions, please contact us at email confluencezen@gmail.com or by phone at 314-669-4465.
On November 19th, Confluence Zen Center had a book signing and talk around Daigaku’s latest translation effort, The Formless Record of the Transmission of Illumination, a commentary by Inoue Gien Roshi on Keizan Zenji’s Denkoroku.
The event was well attended and Dagaku gave a speech on the work, its relevance, why he chose this work for his next translation, and of course took questions.
Soon, we will post the entire lecture given by Daigaku at the event.
