So how is this a good day? Does a good day require that I feel good? That I not be worried? I guess not. I think I’m learning a lot about myself, my tendencies, my tolerances. I’m learning about my capacity for leadership at home and at work during challenging times. I’m witnessing the realities of these times create positive disruption and innovation in a way that doesn’t seem to happen in normal times.

I think there are a lot more crows lately. They irritate me and I don’t know why. Perhaps this koan will help me
understand the crows in my life.

April 4th, 2020 – Individual Phone Conversations on your Meditation Practice with David Weinstein. Online booking for Sat. now available.

What is the last word of Zen? The last word of Zen would be the last word that could be said about Zen. The definitive word, the word beyond which no other words would add anything. How is it that Xuefeng’s teacher didn’t know that word?

If you are a member of PZI, and would like to have a phone conversation about your meditation practice with David Weinstein, schedule online for Saturday.

In response to the continued interest in practicing with the vows as koans since the end of our six-week investigation into the pure vows, we are going to offer two, five week, Monday night gatherings to look into the ten remaining vows. Drop-ins and first timers are welcome.
