This month (Sept 25 – Oct 30), Norman will lead us in reading Dogen’s two fascicles on “Continuous Practice,” from the Shobogenzo. In the Kaz Tanahashi translation, these are fascicles 31a and 31 b. Norman will lead seminar every week except on October 23 when a senior teacher will lead seminar in his place.
The readings can be found online at Terebess in Treasury of the True Dharma Eye.
On Sept 25, the evening concludes with a Sejiki Ceremony.
On the last Wednesday of the month, only, Dharma Seminar meets in person at the Community Congregational Church in Tiburon, and also online in Zoom. Those who are able are encouraged to attend in person when seminar meets both in person and online (hybrid).
Registration is no longer required to attend in person. However, all in-person attendees are expected to review and follow our current Covid protocol.
Dharma Seminar meets on Zoom every week.

The topic of study in seminar typically centers on a classical text, sometimes with additional readings, and changes more or less every month. The focus of our study is always on the application of the teachings to our daily lives. Students are asked to attend all meetings in a given month or seminar series, if possible.
The evening begins with a period of zazen followed by lecture and small and large group discussion.
Please arrive early with time to settle in. Chairs are provided. If you prefer to sit on a zafu, please bring your own.
Please enter the Zoom seminar room in time to settle into your seat for zazen. We encourage you to join with your camera on and to sit in front of your camera or nearby, with downcast or closed eyes as we do in the zendo. But you are welcome to leave your camera off if that’s more comfortable for you.
Please remain muted unless you have been invited to speak during group discussion and in the breakout rooms for small group discussion.
Please join in the chants with your mic off and follow any links or instructions shared in the group chat by the Zoom host.
Please give what you can. We cannot continue offering online teachings without your support.
