Welcome to our Book Discussion
The Book Study Group: This Wednesday, July 1st, at 1:30 pm, our Book Study Group will begin the study and discussion of our new book, Nothing to Attain, by Reb Anderson. Tenshin (Heavenly Mind) Reb Anderson is a lineage-holder in the Soto Zen tradition of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi. A former abbot and senior Dharma teacher of San Francisco Zen Center, Tenshin Roshi lived and taught for more than fifty years at Zen Center’s Green Gulch Farm / Green Dragon Temple in Marin County, California, where he trained priests and Dharma teachers as well as visiting and resident lay students. Please contact Linda at [email protected] for the link to our next meeting. We welcome you!
The Buddhist Study Book Discussion Group. The book discussion group first met in November of 2017. The first book we read was, The Places That Scare You, by Pema Chodron. Since that first meeting, the group has grown and found its path. We read each title, then take our time discussing it. Everyone who cares to can share about the book; we stay on each chapter as long as members want to talk about it. We help each other understand the Buddhist principles contained in the readings. The discussions are often lively, in depth, and meaningful to participants. All Members of the Buddhist Study Group are welcome to join us.
