This evening, the 21st of October, at 7pm in the auditorium of the First Unitarian Church in Providence, I’ll be holding forth, a little on the why, but mostly on the how of Zen meditation.
It will be the first of two parts. The second will follow in two weeks when I’ll gas on why, a little, and more on how to engage koans.
If you’re in the neighborhood the events are free and open to the public.
And speaking of koans, as announced in the title, here’s my Zen teacher John Tarrant discussing what we often call the first koan.
