SUMMARY:Koan Study\, led by Doralee Grindler Katonah
DESCRIPTION:Doralee will lead us in an experiential process of working with the different characters in a koan as parts of ourselves. Through sharing these experiences we may become open to something fresh arising. The koan we will work with is “Senjo and Her Soul are Separated“\, p. 157 in The Hidden Lamp – Stories from Twenty-five Centuries of Awakened Women. Florence Caplow and Susan Moon\, eds. (Wisdom Publications\, 2013). \nCopies of the koan will be provided. \nThe transmission of the dharma happens through intimate encounters\, between seekers on the path and between students and teachers\, to awaken us to our true selves and to relieve our suffering.  Koans are stories of such encounters that at first appear opaque or like conundrums that don’t make sense. Koans are meant to come alive to us and meet us exactly where we are blind to our awakening\, yet the keys to unlocking the awakening process offered in koans calls upon us to engage these stories beyond our usual ways of thinking.

SUMMARY:Vasubandhu's Thirty Verses by So On Jim Hare
DESCRIPTION:In fourth-century India one of the great geniuses of Buddhism\, Vasubandhu\, sought to reconcile the diverse ideas and forms of Buddhism practiced at the time and demonstrate how they could be effectively integrated into a single system. This was the Yogacara movement\, and it continues to have great influence in modern Tibetan and Zen Buddhism. Vasubandhu’s “Thirty Verses” lay out a path of practice that integrates the most powerful of Buddhism’s psychological and mystical possibilities: Early Buddhism’s practices for shedding afflictive emotional habits and the Mahayana emphasis on shedding divisive concepts\, the path of individual liberation and the path of freeing all beings\, the path to nirvana and the path of enlightenment as the very ground of being right now. \nThis is a continuation of our Fall Practice Period theme on Yogacara\, using Ben Connelly’s book\, Inside Vasubandhu’s Yogacara: A Practitioner’s Guide for reference.
