SUMMARY:"Your Original Face" - One-day Retreat led by Kokyo Henkel (In Person Only)
DESCRIPTION:The Sixth Ancestor of Chinese Zen awakening his Dharma brother by asking “without thinking of good and bad\, what is your original face?” \nThis daylong retreat will focus on the 24th case in the koan collection known as the Mumonkan\, or the Gateless Barrier. There will be morning and afternoon talks\, zazen\, and optional dokusan (private interviews). A donation of between $30 and $100 is requested to support our guest teacher and the ongoing activities of Valley Streams Zen Sangha. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Contact info@valleystreamszen.org to request a scholarship or if this will be your first retreat with us. \n\n\n\n\n\nRev. Kokyo Henkel has been practicing Zen since 1990 in residence at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center\, Green Gulch Farm Zen Center\, No Abode Hermitage in Mill Valley\, and Bukkokuji Monastery in Japan. He was a resident teacher at Santa Cruz Zen Center from 2010 to 2020. Most recently\, he led the Spring Practice Period at Green Gulch Farm. \nKokyo was ordained as a priest in 1994 by Tenshin Anderson Roshi and received Dharma Transmission from him in 2010. He is interested in exploring how the original teachings of Buddha-Dharma from ancient India\, China\, and Japan can still be very much alive and useful in present-day America to bring peace and openness to the minds of this troubled world. \nKokyo has also been practicing with the Tibetan Dzogchen (“Great Completeness”) Teacher Tsoknyi Rinpoche since 2003\, in California\, Colorado\, and Kathmandu. \nOur retreat day will include sitting and walking meditation\, a Dharma talk and afternoon discussion period. Outside the meditation hall we will maintain noble silence. Please bring a bag lunch. \nPlease register here.
