Description:

The beloved Zen Master Shunryu Suzuki’s teachings have touched thousands of people and inspired their practice. Using Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind as a basis for this series, Roshi Joan Halifax, Wendy Johnson, Matthew Kozan Palevsky and Kigaku Noah Rossetter offer a rich context for Shunryu Suzuki’s life and teachings.

To open our weekend exploring the seminal Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind by Shunryu Suzuki, Roshi Joan Halifax invites us to approach Zen like a “five year old kid standing in front of a Jackson Pollock painting.” What follows is a lively discussion about getting back to the basics and cultivating a beginner’s mind.
