“The Way-Seeking Mind of the tenzo is actualized by rolling up your sleeves.”
—Eihei Dogen, Tenzo Kyōkun
Our 13th century ancestor Dogen is talking about the head cook in this quotation, but these words can apply to work in any context. In this retreat, we will explore the nonduality of work and practice by rolling up our own sleeves!
The schedule will feature periods of zazen, a discussion with the Boundless Mind temple work practice leaders, and periods of work.
** Please note, we will not be live-streaming the Panel Discussion due to capacity limitations.**
