“Rising, as the mountain
Peaks and valleys deepen-
The twilight sound of the cicada
Singing of a day
Already gone by.”
~ Dogen
We are pleased to announce Stillness Speaks’ first live event in Santa Fe on Zen Master Dogen. We will co-sponsor this event with Mountain Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico at Mountain Cloud’s lovely zendo.
Exact date is to be announced shortly … most likely to occur late Fall.
Kaz Tanahashi, renowned Dogen scholar, translator, (and calligrapher) will co-host with Henry Shukman (guiding teacher of Mountain Cloud Zen Center).
Henry, Chris and Kaz in a creative huddle talking about Dogen … and ultimately deciding to do a Dogen retreat at Mountain Cloud Zen Center in late 2017.
More details coming soon here on our website … and in subsequent newsletters … so stay tuned.
