Dark, and Light—Just a few days after the Spring Equinox, as Earth all interwoven dreams its way into a time of new life and growth, each particular thing in its own way—we do, too.
In community, in the Temple we make with our individual practices linked by our images on screens—our rooms creating the sacred space of our joined ordinary lives: In this way we enact the discovery that our ancestor Shitou Xiqian expresses.
Weaving ourselves in and out of meditation and conversation, day mind and night mind, dark and light, we’ll give ourselves and each other the great gift of time in silence, untrammeled time.
A koan says, “Abiding nowhere, deeply, the heart mind comes forth.”
This is the essence of sesshin, the Zen meditation retreat.
