SUNDAY PROGRAM

This Sunday:

Poetry & Zen

with Paula Jones

Sunday, November 27, 2021 - 10am-12:30pm

Zazen - Service - Dharma Talk

Our Dharma Talk this week will be by Paula Jones, one of Jikoji’s Guiding Teachers, and founder of Floating Zendo San Diego.

Poems and Prompt: This is a season of “gathering in,” appreciating fellowship, as well as celebrating diversity and, at the same time, our “interbeing” or Indra’s net, which includes everything, elements and beings. It is also a time of gathering light, gathering together for warmth and sustenance. If you come upon poems that reflect a sense of connection, you are welcome to read it, or any other poem.
