“In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s mind there are few.”
—Shunryu Suzuki-roshi
If you would like to become more intimate with practice at Zen Center or wherever you are, here are some suggestions for next steps.
(Note: We offer specific suggestions regarding for City Center and Green Gulch because they are the most available of our centers to the public. Tassajara during the spring and summer is a wonderful retreat location, and offers intense monastic practice periods during the fall and winter months. If you’re not in the San Francisco/Marin area, you may be able to find a sitting group near you.)
