Our topic for seminar from July 12 – Aug 23 will be “Sutras from The Old Way,” a short compendium of suttas from the Pali canon collected and introduced by Norman. These are suttas that have particular relevance for our Zen practice. We’ll read and discuss these clear and simple teachings.
At the first seminar of this series, on July 12, Norman will talk about what is said to be the Buddha’s first sermon, Turning the Wheel of the Dharma sutta. The following week, he’ll speak about The Parable of the Saw. Following this, on July 26, he’ll speak on The Elder Sutra and the Sutra on the Better Way to Live Alone.
During the month of August we’ll hear from our priests: On August 2, Neal Shorstein will speak on Kaccayanagotta Sutra; August 9, Jeff Bickner on the Meghiya Sutta; August 16, John Murray on Those of Kesaputta; and August 23 Mary Ann Sacksteder on Simile of the Snake.
