Shinshu Roberts’ Meeting the Myriad Things
with Ted O'Toole
Tuesdays, February 3 - March 10, 8:10 - 9:30 am
Offered online and in person
The focus of this study group will be Meeting the Myriad Things, which is a new analysis by Shinshu Roberts of Dogen Zenji’s Genjokoan. In Roberts’ words, the Genjokoan is a crucial and comprehensive introduction to Dogen’s teachings. Only four pages long, it is dense, very poetic and beautiful, and at first, perhaps, seemingly impenetrable.
This is an advanced offering. Participants will be expected to understand the basics of Mahayana Buddhism and have some familiarity with Dogen. We will follow a class discussion format. There will be no assignment prior to the first meeting, but please acquire the book and bring it to the first meeting, where we will begin by reading aloud.
Suggested donation: $140
A Note About Donation-only Programming
Following the Buddhist tradition of dana, or giving, MZMC offers all of our programs on a donation basis. We offer a suggested donation amount to help people understand the average amount we hope to receive to continue to make these offerings. We encourage those with more capacity for giving to make a donation above the suggested amount to support those who need to give a smaller amount.
