The subject of Study Sundays will be the book ‘Becoming Yourself’ by Suzuki Roshi. The talks in the book center on zazen, Bodhisattva Precepts and the Zen Buddhist way of life and we will explore these and other foundations of Zen Buddhist teachings.
We will read the book aloud together. Our library has two copies to borrow. Bloomsbury Books will give 20% off to members of the Ashland Zen Center book club. (You can order the book from them over the phone and it will arrive in about three days)
Sign up for the series of five Study Sundays on the bulletin board at the zendo before January 4. The prerequisite is to be participating in the zendo schedule at a minimum of once a week.
