We are partnering with UNM’s Sustainability Studies Program to bring Dara Saville to our campus for a mindful nature walk on Saturday October 28.

This is a unique opportunity for us to engage, as a community, with this special place we all share a connection to — whether we are local or global members. This is also an opportunity for us to more intentionally engage more intentionally with the land, flora and fauna as part of our sangha. With Dara’s guidance, we will discern stories and histories from the land, share tales of connection, and build our own relationship with this term, eco-dharma.

By gathering together in mindful presence with the land, we will embody the values of sangha and interdependence integral to membership at Mountain Cloud and the traditions of our lineage. After all, how often do our Zen ancestors point our attention not to books or concepts, but instead to–

‘The oak tree there in the garden.’
‘Vast open space, empty sky.’
‘Mountains, rivers and the great earth, where are they to be found?’
‘Each branch of coral holds up the moon.’
‘The birds sing among innumerable kinds of fragrant flowers.’

Who knows what unspoken koans our little mountain arroyo has yet to share with us?
