May's Gathering

On Tuesday May 3rd, we will be having our monthly gathering at Love it Yoga.  All are welcome.

Until then, here is another podcast from the Toledo Zen Center.  These are available for free at http://www.thedrinkinggourd.org/

More from the Drinking Gourd.

A new talk from the Toledo Zen Center. This talk was given durring sesshin at the Toledo Zen Center in April of 2010. Sesshin is an intensive retreat that emphasizes Zazen as the primary practice.

"Spring" Board

Spring can be awonderful time to revitalize ourselves and our practice. Tonight we got to see some familiar faces and make new friends.

It is always so helpful to be able to get together and practice with each other, but when we can't, or for those times in between, it is important to try and sit on our own. The mental weight that comes from zazen needs cultivation.

Since other guidance can help aswell, I offer some of the teachings of my teachers.

The Drinking Gourd podcasts are the Dharma Talks of the Toledo Zen Center, lead by the Reverends Jay Rinsen Weik and Karen Do-on Weik (and are free). Here some of their early talks that I recommend...

"The Four Noble Truths (part 1) http://thedrinkinggourd.org/2007/11
"The Four Noble Truths (part 2 and 3) http://thedrinkinggourd.org/2007/12

May your practice nurture your life. See you on May 3rd.
