February Zazenkai Recap

Sangha group pictures from our February Zazenkai — where for our afternoon tea discussion we read a passage from Ross Gay’s book ‘Inciting Joy’ … 

In one section we read, 
“What if joy is not only entangled with pain, or suffering, or sorrow, but is also what emerges from how we care for each other through those things? What if joy, instead of refuge or relief from heartbreak, is what effloresces from us as we help each other carry our heartbreaks?”

A very nourishing day of Zen practice..

Also, please admire the beautiful flower arrangement that one of the attendees created during Samu (Work Practice).
