Description

Way-Seeking Mind talks are part of the process and preparation for students who are about to receive the Zen Buddhist precepts in a ceremony called jukai. In these offerings, the student talks about what brought them to the path of practice. These are personal and intimate explorations, and the support of sangha is a crucial element of these talks. All are welcome to come support these students as they embark on this journey.

The Way-Seeking Mind talk on Wednesday October 16 will be given by Kenshin “Devotion Moon, Clear Seeing” Jefre Cantu, Incoming Shuso (“Head Student”) for the Fall Practice Period.
