“In the spring, cherry blossoms,
In the summer the cuckoo,
In autumn the moon, and
In winter the snow, clear, cold”
~ Dogen
Stillness Speaks is very pleased to announce an upcoming retreat focused on Zen Master Dogen. We will co-sponsor this event with Mountain Cloud Zen Center.
Kaz Tanahashi, renowned Dogen scholar, translator, (and calligrapher) will co-host with Henry Shukman (guiding teacher of Mountain Cloud Zen Center), and possibly one other Zen teacher …
The event is in July 2017.
UPDATE May 2017: Event date has changed … a post with the new date will be forthcoming …
More details coming soon here on our website … and in subsequent newsletters … so stay tuned.
