  • Flash Event for June 13, 2025 7pm

    Flash Event for June 13, 2025 7pm

    FLASH EVENT – Friday June 13th, 2025 7PM – FLASH EVENT – Movie Night –” Les Glaneurs et La Glanesue” (2000) directed by Agnès Varda. In person only at our urban zendo. Towards the end of the 1990’s French documentary filmmaker Agnès Varda was inspired by an 1867 painting by Jean-Francois Millet to cross the French countryside and videotape people who scavenge what others discard or lay to waste. Varda surveyed people picking up the remains of a harvest crop and local market, people who snoop through rubbish in urban trash cans, and diggers at the seaside looking for oysters, among others. Through her visual journey, she offers a charming narration to reveal her findings to the viewer, and explore ways to subsist in relation to community. – In person only /Urban Zendo

    Tuesday Dharma Tea for June 10, 2025 2-2:45pm Eastern

    Tuesday June 10 , 2025 – Dharma Tea on Tuesdays at 2pm (2-2:45pm) Taking care of your own wash water/bringing our sincere heart to everything. Let’s look at and discuss how we manage the resources that flow through our lives. And ask the question is anything every really trash/waste? Led by Inryū Sensei.


    You should entreat trees and rocks to preach the dharma, and you should ask rice fields and gardens for the truth. Ask pillars for the dharma, and learn from hedges and walls. In earth, stones, sand, and pebbles, there is to be found the extremely inconceivable mind which moves the sincere heart.

    —Dogen Zenji
