The Shobogenzo is an enormous work that captures the vastness of Dogen's realization. Kaz, over many years, threaded the beads of these many fascicles into a great mala of wisdom.

Catastrophe is the essence of the spiritual path, a series of breakdowns allowing us to discover the threads that weave all of life into a whole cloth.

Buddhist practice is the grounding for this work, this life, this way.

We have even done a weekend on Japanese grammar! Not that I know anything about Japanese grammar, but it was Kaz's idea, and it was a bit of an adventure, to say the least.

We believe that it takes a strong back and a soft front to face the world.

Don't ever think compassion is weak. Compassion is about strength.

Cease consuming, practice generosity.
