Sesshin with Tim Burnett
November 12-15
This is a great chance to work with Zen forms including oryōki (formal eating practice) right in Bozeman! The sesshin will be Thursday, November 12 – Sunday, November 15. It would be wonderful if you can attend the whole retreat, and there are options for signing up for certain days only (except Sunday). Scholarships are available.
To study the Buddha Way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things.
