SUMMARY:One-day Sitting with by Kokyo Henkel (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Kokyo Henkel will offer a teaching on Buddha Nature with inspiration from the Book of Serenity\, Case 93: Luzu’s Not Meeting \nLuzu asked Nanquan\, ” ‘People don’t recognize the wish-fulfilling jewel which is intimately obtained from the tathagata-garbha (heart/womb of buddha)’. What is the garbha?”  Nanquan said\, “It is that in me which comes and goes with you.” Luzu said\, “What about that which doesn’t come and go?” Nanquan said\, “It’s also the garbha.” Luzu said\, “What is the jewel?” Nanquan called him “Teacher Luzu!” Luzu responded\, “Yes?” Nanquan said\, “Go – you don’t meet with my words.” \n\nKokyo Henkel has been practicing Zen since 1990 in residence at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center (most recently as Head of Practice)\, Green Gulch Farm Zen Center\, No Abode Hermitage in Mill Valley\, and Bukkokuji Monastery in Japan.\nHe was ordained as a priest in 1994 by Tenshin Anderson Roshi and received Dharma Transmission from him in 2010. Kokyo 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. \nRegister on Eventbrite.com ($30-$80);  To request a full or partial scholarship\, email  info@valleystreamszen.org \n*To join via computer: \n\nDownload free Zoom Client for Meetings  and\nDownload SFZC Chants in PDF.\n\n*To join by telephone (audio only): \n\nDial 669 900 6833 (San Jose) and follow voice prompts for entering the Meeting ID and password.\nPhone Controls: *9 = Raise hand; *6 = Mute/unmute

SUMMARY:One-day Sitting: Benefitting All Beings (at the Dharma Center)
DESCRIPTION:In Buddhism\, the four unlimited mental attitudes are loving kindness\, compassion\, sympathetic joy and equanimity. These attiudes are unlimited because the benefits thay bring to self and other can’t be quantified; they are immeasurable. \nIn this day of in-person sitting meditation practice\, we will focus on these four immeasurables that teach all sentient beings and bring us contentment. \nThis retreat will be led by Valley Streams practice leader So On Jim Hare. The day will include a morning Dharma talk and afternoon discussion. \nREGISTER ON EVENTBRITE.COM  (NOTE: because this is an all-day event\, we will not be offering it online.)

SUMMARY:Half-day Zazenkai\, led by So-On Jim Hare (in-person OR online)
DESCRIPTION:This sitting may be on Zoom rather than outdoors at the Dharma Center as recently planned. In addition to heightened concerns about Covid\, we are experiencing poor air quality due to fires in the Sierra. If these conditions continue on Saturday\, the sitting will be held via Zoom. Please call or send an email for most recent venue information. \nZazenkai is a silent meditation retreat that doesn’t feature a Dharma talk. It is simply to go deeply into the practice of zazen; allowing silence and stillness to offer their blessings. The schedule will alternate six half-hour periods of sitting and walking meditation\, with a short silent break in mid-morning. \n\nIf this is your first time practicing with us or your first half-day sitting\, please call So-On Jim at 916-456-7752 to learn more about the day.\n\nRegister on Eventbrite.com

SUMMARY:Awakening Bodhi Mind - A One-day Zen Retreat\, led by So-On Jim Hare
DESCRIPTION:Zen master Dogen speaks of “raising an aspiration to escalade the very sky.” What is the place for such audacity in our practice?   \nMany of us begin Zen practice with the hope that it will relieve the pain and grief we feel much of the time. Later\, we learn that relieving suffering is just part of the work. The Buddhas point the way toward complete liberation\, not only for ourselves but for all beings. The aspiration for such liberation is called Bodhicittapada. \nWe will explore the aspiration for enlightenment in our one-day sitting\, through multiple periods of zazen\, a morning Dharma talk and afternoon discussion. \nPlease note this is an IN-PERSON retreat. All who attend must be vaccinated against Covid-19. In addition\, masking and social distancing protocols will be practiced. \n\nIf this is your first time practicing with us or your first one-day sitting\, please call So-On Jim at 916-456-7752 to learn more about the day.\nPlease bring a bag lunch.\nFee is by donation.\n\nREGISTER ON EVENTBRITE.COM \n

SUMMARY:Yogacara: a One-day Virtual Retreat\, led by Rev. Ben Connelly
DESCRIPTION:Yogacara: Integrating Personal and Social Healing and Liberation (online retreat)\nHow can we heal ourselves and our communities? How does our personal conduct\, wellness\, suffering\, and trauma\, relate to interpersonal and transpersonal systems? How can we give our lives to universal liberation without sacrificing our own well-being? These are the questions at the heart of Yogacara Buddhism\, which brings Early Buddhist and Mahayana practice into an integrated approach to joyful\, compassionate\, altruistic living.\nThis retreat will focus on the practices upheld in the Indian Yogacara master Vasubandhu’s Thirty Verses on Consciousness Only. We will move towards a deeper knowing of the fact that in every moment we are participating in the whole of the world in all its beauty and harms\, and that in every moment we can act for the liberation of all. \nBen Connelly is a Soto Zen teacher and Dharma heir in the Dainin Katagiri Roshi lineage. He also teaches mindfulness in a wide variety of secular contexts including police and corporate training\, correctional facilities\, and addiction recovery and wellness groups. Ben is based at Minnesota Zen Meditation Center and travels to teach across the United States. He lives in Minneapolis\, Minnesota. He is the author of: Inside the Grass Hut: Living Shitou’s Classic Zen Poem\, Inside Vasubandhu’s Yogacara: a Practitioner’s Guide\, and Mindfulness and Intimacy. \nThis event will be ONLINE ONLY via Zoom.  • REGISTER ON EVENTBRITE

SUMMARY:Zazenkai Half-day Sitting (online)

It is simply to go deeply into the practice of zazen\, allowing silence and stillness to offer their blessings. The schedule will alternate six half-hour periods of sitting and walking meditation\, with a short silent break mid-morning. A donation is requested\, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. \nRegister on Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Dharma Art Day: Zazen and SoulCollage® with Alexa Singer-Telles (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Preparing a Sincere Offering to the Three Treasures: A Creative Exploration of Dogen’s Instructions for the Cook\n  \nPlease join us for a day of mindful practice to explore Dogen’s teachings for cooking your life in a creative and experiential way. It is said that “bodhicitta is born of the smallest offering made with sincerity.”  In our time together we will practice cultivating the mind of love by combining the ingredients of zazen\, SoulCollage®\, guided writing practice\, collaboration\, and ritual.  Please bring your open heart\, imagination and curiosity to see what unfolds in this transformational process.  Our offerings will be honored in a closing ceremony. \nThe SoulCollage® process was developed by Seena B. Frost\, M.Div. as a mixture of joyful art play and as a healing guide using the potentiality of images and symbols to access our own innate wisdom through journaling and sharing. \nAlexa Singer-Telles\, True Silent Action\, is a dharmacharya (teacher) in the Plum Village tradition\, receiving Lamp Transmission from Thich Nhat Hanh in 2014.  She is the guiding teacher for several sanghas in California\, Washington\, Oregon and Calgary.  She co-founded the River Oak Sangha in Redding\, and led it for 30 years. She is a practicing psychotherapist\, certified facilitator of SoulCollage® groups\, and women’s spiritual ceremonialist. She recently founded the MotherRoot Sangha.  Inspired by studying our Buddhist women ancestors\, she aspires to be an old woman of no rank. \nYou don’t need artistic skill to attend this event\, but you do need to be vaccinated against Covid-19. Mask wearing is optional and will be supported. \nRegister on Eventbrite.com             Event Flyer
