This Very Beginner's Mind

with Shundo

Shundo will reflect on his training at the San Francisco Zen Center, in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki, the author of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, and how his teachings brought to the west the essence of Dogen - the founder of Soto Zen in Japan, and one of the world's great philosophers.

You are welcome to bring your questions about Zen practice, Shunryu Suzuki, and Dogen.
