SUMMARY:Freedom in Tradition\, Freedom from Tradition: A Conversation with Jiryu Rutschman-Byler and Joan Tollifson\, Online 3/13
DESCRIPTION:The Zoom link to participate in this event will be provided at least 24 hours before it begins. Please call 415-354-0360 if you have any questions. \n\nSaturday\, March 13\, 2:00–3:30 pm PT \nWhat can traditional\, formal Zen practice and less structured\, more open approaches to awakening illuminate in one another? \nAuthor and teacher Joan Tollifson\, who left formal Zen practice to work with Toni Packer and went on to even less structured approaches\, and Abbot Jiryu Rutschman-Byler meet for a wide-ranging conversation about different approaches to practice. \nTogether\, Abbot Jiryu and Joan will explore the possibilities and the potential limitations of formal Zen practice and of more open\, nontraditional ways of waking up to the wonder of what is and seeing through what seems to get in the way. \nThey will consider how structure\, ritual\, lineage\, and disciplined practice might solidify rather than soften self-centeredness and separation; what can be revealed or hidden by these forms; and what a less formal approach may open up or miss. \nTheir dialogue invites us to appreciate many different possibilities and to recognize the strengths and weaknesses in each of them. Above all\, the conversation will remind us of the wonder of the present\, the unknowable\, ungraspable miracle that is this moment as it is.  \nRecordings:All course sessions will be recorded\, and registered participants will receive temporary access to the recordings for later viewing.
