Nyokai Kristin Diggs will be offering a five-week online class on Eihei Dogen Zenji’s seminal essay, Fukanzazengi (“Universal Recommendations for Zazen”), sometimes loosely translated “Instructions/Guidelines for Seated Meditation.” It is a rich text full of poetically written allusions to earlier Chan teachings as well as practical instructions for the physical and mental posture of zazen (sitting/seated Zen).

The five-class series will be offered approximately every other week on Tuesday evenings, 6:30pm-8:00pm, from May 19th – July 14th. During during that period, Kristin will also be offering a few dharma talks (and a one-day sitting) with the same focus.

The classes and talks will be offered on the following dates:
May 19th (class)
June 2nd (class)
June 8th (Valley Streams Dharma talk)
June 14th (Green Gulch Farm Dharma talk)
June 16th (class)
June 30th (class)
July 14th (class)
July 18th (Valley Streams one-day sitting and Dharma talk)

Please find additional information and sign-up on Eventbrite. If you would rather the class start at 7 p.m. or have questions, please contact Kristin at nyokai.kristin.diggs@gmail.com.
