Norman Fischer One Day Zoom Reteat

Post by clyde »

You're invited to join the Sacramento Buddhist Meditation Group (SBMG) in welcoming Norman Fischer for a One Day Zoom Retreat, Saturday, January 16 from 9 am to 4:30 pm Pacific Time.

This weekend retreat will be in honor of the dream and the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Like Dr King, Mahayana Buddhism also has a dream of radical compassion and universal belonging. We’ll focus on the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, the most important Buddhist sutra for Far East Asian Buddhism, famous for its radical insistence that all beings without exception are Buddhas, and that each one, in their own way, expresses the dharma. We’ll practice silent sitting and walking meditation, and study this sutra with short dharma talks and discussion, and with reference to the teachings and example of Dr. King, whose social vision was religiously inspired. All are welcome. It is not necessary to read the Lotus Sutra in advance, though doing so would probably increase the delight.

Norman Fischer is a poet, author, and senior American Zen Buddhist priest. A former abbot of the San Francisco Zen Center, he is the founder and teacher of the Everyday Zen Foundation, a network of spiritual communities and projects dedicated to sharing zen and Buddhist teachings widely with the world.

Registration is required before the event and there are only 100 seats available. You can register at Eventbrite here:
