A lay facilitated study group will start March 1st. The meetings will be on Fridays from 7 to 8 PM. The text will be Living by Vow: A Practical Introduction to Eight Essential Zen Chants and Texts by Shohaku Okumura. The aim of the study group is to discuss and digest this informative and inspiring book. Part of studying Living by Vow will involve applying it to everyday life and sharing what was learned.
