Description

Senseis Monshin, Kathie Fischer, and Shinzan, together with Hoshi Senko, open Upaya’s Fall Practice Period by welcoming participants from around the world into a month of deep study of Dogen’s Genjokoan. “To study the way is to study the self,” Monshin reminds us, as the teachers reflect on beginning again, letting go of comparison, and trusting the unfolding of practice. With warmth, humor, and reverence, they invite practitioners to move with ease, rest in presence, and allow the forms to reveal their quiet magic. As residents and Cloud Sangha sign the opening scroll, a shared vow takes shape—an ancient rhythm renewed: do not squander your life.
