Zen Luminary Ruben Habito tonight! A reminder to register if you have not done so January 30, 2023
6–7:30 pm Pacific Time
A flower twirls in the hand, and a knowing is shared beyond words, one generation to the next, infinitely.
Koun Yamada, who died in 1989, and his own teacher, Hakuun Yasutani, had immeasurable impact on many of the major Zen lineages in the U.S., Europe and South Asia. Fully half of those Yamada sanctioned to teach were Catholic and Protestant clerics; he did not see Zen as being strictly Buddhist.
The center pole to Yamada’s “big tent” approach to Zen was his clear awakening, and for decades he stressed that all his students must at least once in their lives experience the joy of “seeing the nature” (kensho). Later, he increasingly emphasized the importance of integrating that insight into our lives, through the vow to save all beings of the world. More on Koun Yamada and these 3 teachers
Disregard the recent update with zoom link for David Hinton December 01, 2022
Dear Luminaries fans -
If you did not sign up for the Hinton event - the link we recently sent won't get you there.
But you might want to sign up for what promises to be a very lively evening on the 28th.
If you DID sign up, the same is true - that link will not get you there.
BUT We are preparing a brand new zoom link for you and you will have it shortly.
All clear (as mud)? Hopefully.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience. Admin & gremlins

A Reminder -Jane Hirshfield in Conversation with Jon Joseph tonight at 6pm PDT October 24, 2022
Through Windows and Gates:
October 24th
A Zen Luminaries Monday Night Conversation with poet Jane Hirshfield
Join us tonight as we discuss with Jane her translations, essays and poetry.
Jane Hirshfield is an American poet, essayist, and translator. Hirshfield is also a Buddhist who received precepts at San Francisco Zen Center in 1979.
In many interviews, Hirshfield expresses frustration at being labeled a Buddhist poet: “I always feel a slight dismay if I’m called a ‘Zen’ poet. I am not. I am a human poet, that’s all.”
If you are registered already - the zoom link is in your receipt. If you want to attend be sure to register soon.
