Starting Monday June 8, Genpo Roshi will begin fulfilling a long-held dream of recounting and recording his memories of encounters with some of the extraordinary teachers and mentors, now deceased, he has met in his half century of Zen practice.

Though colorful and of historical interest, Roshi treasures these memories especially for how they have shaped and deepened his life and his teaching — to be shared in the great tradition of Zen storytelling, and ‘juiced’ as modern-day, living koans.

You are cordially invited to join Roshi for this first series of stories and reflections – on a dana donation basis — and perhaps to assist in transcribing them from audio recordings for future publication.

* In Yiddish (from the German word mensch = human being) a mensch is “a person of integrity and honor,” “someone to admire and emulate, someone of noble character.”

Monday June 8 — Friday June 12  •  10:00 am — 12:00 pm (Mountain Time)

Open to all with registration.
Audio recordings of each day’s events will be available to registrants.

Suggested donation: Dana
In Buddhist teachings, Dana (Sanskrit for giving, generosity) is the first of the paramitas (virtues, perfections) to be cultivated and practiced by all human beings.  We are asking that you donate whatever amount accords with both your capacity to give and the value you place on this opportunity to receive the teachings.

For more information, please contact Mary Ellen by email.
