The Meditatio Centre & ONLINE

“Entering the forest he moves not the grass, Entering the water he makes not a ripple” – The Zenrin

“Split wood: I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there” – Jesus in The Gospel of Thomas

– Who is this? If we question Zen teachers we are asked, Who is asking? Jesus has a question too: And you. Who do you say I am?

In our time together we will reflect on the challenge and the invitation of both Jesus and the teachings of Zen. How do they speak to each other? How do they speak to us? Our attentive listening to such questions will offer us another invaluable chance to sit with the transformative question: Who am I? (And, by popular demand, the opportunity to play Zen Bingo will return.)

 

Refreshments will be served but please bring a packed lunch.

This day is available online as well as at the Centre. Booking is now closed for this event.
