IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU or is it?
A Weekend of Practice and Study with Zen teacher and author, Richard Reishin Collins

You sometimes hear students speak of “my” zazen or “my” practice, as though Zen practice concerns only them, or even worse that it is something they have some ownership or control over, as though it is up to them alone. This phrase “my practice” is insidious because it assumes that it is about you yourself alone. The more one practices, the more one realizes that “you” are just the beginning. —Richard Collins, No Fear Zen, 22.

This is a weekend for all beginners, whether they have a long term, regular meditation practice or not, and with whatever spiritual tradition they align. The opportunity to visit, deepen or revisit practice as if for the first time is essential at every stage of the Path.

Please join Richard Reishin Collins and other friends for this rare program of talks (teisho), discussions (mondo) and sitting-practice periods (zazen) in the desert sanctuary of Triveni Ashram, Paulden, Arizona. No experience is necessary. Bring an open heart/mind and the willingness to start from zero.
