WHAT IS ZEN?
THE HEART OF THE ONE WHO ASKS

                                                   BUKKO

Ours is a practice of exploration and discovery, supporting each other in community. 
To find what is in our hearts and to experience our lives as they are adds richness and clarity.  We invite you to join us on adventurous path by participating in our activities  Practicing in community often deepens our practice without even trying.

Our mission is to develop a culture for transforming the mind through meditation, koans, conversation, and the arts.


Small Koan Group
Thursdays, April 17 through May 24
7 pm - 9pm

We have been experimenting with an openly collaborative culture; we develop our understanding of Zen by practicing our spiritual methods and sharing our experience. As a teacher I’ve been very interested in the two way process—how koans open our lives and, in the other direction, what our lives teach us about what is effective about koan work. We invite you to join us as we work together to explore koans and share our insights.  This event is held offsite.  Directions and the first koan will be sent upon registration. If you have questions or to register, click here or call Deb Saint at 602-904-5270.
