The theme of the Practice Period is “Dharma Friendship.” This class poses the question: What is the practice of being a dharma friend? In this six-week class, we will study Dogen’s essays, “Only Buddha and Buddha (Yuibutsu Yobutsu)” and “Bodhisattva’s Four Methods of Guidance (Bodaisatta Shisho-ho)” as sources for understanding and practicing the deep meaning of dharma friendship. This study will help you to develop your capacity for engaging in the practice of sangha as the matrix of enlightenment. This class itself manifests open-hearted way and everyone is welcome.

Class fees; six class meetings: $90; $81 current SFZC members; $72 limited income.
