BUDDHIST STUDIES WORKSHOP
The Development of Mahayana in India Saturday, May 10
after Zazenkai, 1:30pm-4:00pm
with Rev. Bill Jikai Greenberg
This course will cover the development of Mahayana Buddhism and its core
tenets and concerns in India. We will examine Nagarjuna’s development of
Prajnaparamita, the Madhyamika and Cittamatra (Yogacara, Mind Only)
Schools and a review of key texts such as the Lotus Sutra, the Avatasaka
collection and the Vimalakirti Sutra, an outrageous, scatological and
humorous fore-runner to Zen. Come to think of it, these all are provocative
out-cries of rebels, revolutionaries and sainted vagabonds. Fee: $35-
members; $45-non-members.
Introduction to Zen led by Dharma Holder Ann Ankai Wagner
Saturday, May 31, 10:30am-4pm
For beginners, those who want a refresher and the curious. Wear
comfortable clothing and bring a lunch. More info. To register: contact

forms, practical grips, blocks, throws and blows, all in the service of letting
go of small self and learning to function in No Mind or Big Self.

presence under challenging conditions.

Commuters Zazen/Street Retreat in Paterson, NJ
3pm Friday, July 25 to 11am Sunday, June 27
Join Sensei Genki along with Sensei Genro Gauntt for a commuters
zazen and street retreat in Paterson. On Friday, we will sit zazen with
Genki and Genro at the zendo, then go home for the night. We’ll be back
at the zendo early Saturday morning to sit until the afternoon.
Then we will leave all but an ID card at the Zendo and plunge into the
life and streets of Paterson with just the clothes on our back and the
pavement as our beds. We will eat in soup kitchens and beg for money or
food at times when soup kitchens are not open. We will sleep outdoors or
in abandoned housing, though not in shelters since there are not enough
beds. We don’t say we’re homeless; we’re simply living on the streets for
24 hours, relying on the generosity of the streets to take care of us.
This is a powerful practice of not-knowing and bearing witness, where the
unpredictable life on the streets is the main teacher. More Info.
Beginners Zazen
Wednesdays, 7 pm - 8 pm. Led by Rev. Cyndi Seiho Brighton. Shorter
zazen periods followed by a group discussion. All new sitters and those
needing shorter periods are welcome to attend.
