Description
On this first full day of the Fall Practice Period sesshin, Sensei Kathie introduces the teaching of The Jewel Mirror Samadhi and shares stories about Zen Master Dongshan, the co-founder of the Caodong School of Zen. Reflecting on the evolving nature of history and the practice of inquiry, Kathie highlights the importance of mindfulness in each moment and the quiet beauty of observing life with open-hearted curiosity.
