Dragon Lake Zen warmly invites you to:
MONTHLY COMMUNITY PRACTICE
Meditation, Dharma, Interpersonal Connection
Zazen (Japanese for: Sitting Zen) is the great exploration in sitting still, in silence and spaciousness, allowing everything to simply be as it is in order to experience and realize our true nature. Practicing together, we both deepen and polish each other's insight and natural expressions of wisdom, compassion, and playfulness. We become confident in our innate unity with all of Reality, and also learn to work skillfully with, and even celebrate, our differences.

“I encourage you. Please enjoy this wonderful life together. Appreciate the world of just this! There is nothing extra. Genuinely appreciate your life as the most precious treasure and take good care of it.”
~ Taizan Maezumi Roshi
In our Monthly Community Practice gatherings, for beginners and experienced practitioners alike, members of Dragon Lake Zen will facilitate a supportive space to clarify our intentions, and train our attention in zazen. Allowing our body, breath, and mind to function harmoniously, we will be invited to encounter a vivid, natural intimacy with Reality as it is.
Our time together will also include a dharma talk/ brief teaching from senior monks and nourishing, energizing connection with community through guided interpersonal practices.
The schedule will evolve with what is alive in the group each gathering. Please wear comfortable clothing for sitting, and avoid fragrances and perfumes.
An optional brunch together at a nearby restaurant will follow the 90 minute gathering.
Dragon Lake Zen is a Boulder-based organization of Zen practitioners who are longtime students of Diane Musho Hamilton Roshi. We practice in the White Plum branch of Soto Zen Buddhism, and live at the fruitful intersection of deep tradition and bold innovation. We assert that there exists, here and now, a way and a training that can welcome our divisions, clarify value, and align with the currents of life-force that bring unreasonable joy, clear wisdom, and unconditioned compassion to all beings.
