DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 2nd |  5:30–7:00 PM\nMeditation begins at 5:30 pm MT\, followed by the Dharma Talk (teisho) at 6:00 pm MT.\n \nYou are invited to join us for an evening of meditation\, Zen\, and poetry with Henry Shukman at Mountain Cloud Zen Center’s zendo\, where he will be leading the Dharma Talk titled\, “The World and Us.” Henry will explore ways Zen and poetry can illuminate our relationship with this world. \nThis hybrid event is free and registration is not required.

Dana to Henry can be made through Mountain Cloud’s donation page: https://www.mountaincloud.org/donate/ \n \n∞ \nHenry Shukman is Spiritual Director Emeritus at Mountain Cloud Zen Center. He joined the center as Guiding Teacher in 2010\, bringing new fervor to the teaching at the center and fostering new programs. He then became Spiritual Director. Between 2010 and 2023\, Henry has contributed greatly to the Mountain Cloud you see today. \nHe has trained with several Zen teachers\, particularly the roshis Joan Rieck\, John Gaynor\, Ruben Habito and Yamada Ryoun Roshi\, as well as with teachers and mentors in other traditions. Henry has received dharma transmission (inka shomei and sanmotsu) from Yamada Ryoun Roshi\, Abbot of Sanbo Zen\, and is a Shōshike (Authentic Zen Master) of the Sanbo Zen lineage of Kamakura\, Japan. In addition\, Henry is an award-winning author and poet. His struggles as a youth\, combined with a spontaneous awakening experience at 19\, paved the way for him to develop a well-rounded approach to spirituality and meditation\, under the guidance of his teachers – one that includes both compassionate concern for the sufferings of the world and the great liberating power of awakening as its foundation. Henry is the founder and teacher of the Original Love Program\, a comprehensive non-sectarian guide to meditation practice\, and is the co-founder and teacher of the meditation app\, The Way. Learn more about Henry’s latest book – Original Love\, his meditation app – The Way\, workshops and current projects at www.HenryShukman.com \n∞ \nTeisho literally means “presentation of the shout.” It is not a lecture or a didactic discourse but a direct sharing of the dharma springing from the teacher’s experience. A teisho or dharma talk is not intended to engage the discursive mind. Rather\, the invitation is to let the language wash over the listener and\, if something strikes\, to let that resound. \nAt Mountain Cloud\, teisho often take up a koan\, a record of an exchange between Chan/Zen masters or masters and disciples that conveys the world they are sharing and carries the seeds of awakening. Teisho invite us to keep company with the ancestors whose practice-awakening (a term from Dogen) is freshly conveyed each time we turn to this living tradition.
