From August 21 – September 18, Jaune will lead Dharma Seminar in a study of The Five Remembrances.
These teachings from the Pali Canon were offered by the Buddha to awaken us from denial, cultivate gratitude and appreciation for the life we have been given, and teach us about impermanence, non-attachment, equanimity, grief, loss and acceptance of what we cannot control.
Each week a small panel of EDZ sangha members will offer teachings they turn to in their practice of The Five Remembrances, sharing their life experience, wisdom, compassion, creativity and not-knowing.
Each week’s Seminar will include chanting or reading from our main text, “When Blossoms Fall: A Zen Guide for Death & Dying” (PDF), plus other suggested readings from a comprehensive resource list, sharing in break-out groups, large group discussions, guided meditations, and practical information.
