SUMMARY:Way Seeking Mind Talk by Konen Scott Lowe (Speaker in Person)
DESCRIPTION:Konen Scott Lowe’s Dharma biography: “I first encountered the Buddha Dharma when I was a teenager. In the library of the town I grew up in (Gallup\, New Mexico). I randomly picked up a small volume of Hinayana Buddhism Sutras and history. As soon as I read a few pages\, I was drawn to the voice of the Buddha\, and from that day on\, I considered myself a Buddhist.\nMany years later\, in 1994\, I attended a Dharma talk at Green Gulch. Someone named Tenshin Reb Anderson gave the talk\, and after hearing his talk\, I thought\, “I think this man is my teacher\,” and so he is to this day. I took Jukai in 1999 and received the Dharma name Konen Shogaku.” \n*Zoom link to program \nOur Monday night programs begin with zazen (sitting meditation) followed by a devotional service and dharma talk\, group discussion\, or practice circle. There are no membership requirements to participate. We invite donations to support the room rental\, visits by teachers\, and other sangha activities.
