Description
Weekly Dharma talks, Zazenkai and Sesshin talks.
We are part of the Phoenix Cloud lineage whose founder was Kobun Chino Roshi (1938-2002). Kobun came to San Francisco from Japan in 1967 at the request of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi to serve as his attendant at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center.
Sensei Dean Williams is the guiding teacher of the Crooked River Zen Center in Cleveland, Ohio. His interest in Zen Buddhism began in the early 70s when he was working on his BA in philosophy. He began formal zen practice in 1997. He was lay ordained in 2000, ordained as a Buddhist chaplain in 2001, and as a priest in 2003, all while studying with Sojun Diane Martin, the resident teacher at Udumbara Zen Center in Evanston, IL. In 2006 he served as shuso during the fall practice period at Udumbara.
Dean received dharma transmission in 2014 from Shoho Michael Newhall, the abbot of Jikoji Zen Center in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California, making him a dharma holder in the Kobun Chino lineage.

This week, Long time Sangha member Mark (Shinmon) Domann, shares what he is doing now that he has retired, to keep busy and engaged in his Buddhist practice in San Diego CA.
The topic of my talk will be happiness using as a launching point a statement from an essay I read this morning by a retired psychiatrist - "As a psychiatrist, I've seen how chasing happiness leads to misery."
This Thurs. we'll have our usual sitting at 7pm following which the dharma talk will continue our study of Dogen's Bendowa, picking up at pg. 105 of "The Wholehearted Way" with the section that begins "There is a path through which the Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi of all things returns..."
This Sat. at 9:30am we will have our next Jukai class where we are still early on with our study of "The Way of the Bodhisattva." We will pick up here with verse 20 in chapter 1. These classes are open to everyone.
