    On Monday, January 15, BZC will
    commemorate the Martin Luther King, Jr
    holiday with an 8:30‒11:30 morning of zazen,
    reflection, and neighborhood service. The
    day’s program is still under development, but
    our tentative schedule is:
    • 8:30‒ 9:00 am — Zazen
    • 9:00‒10:00 — Reading the words of Dr.
    King and discussion based on his teachings
    and those of other teachers of equity and
    liberation.
    • 10:00 — National Karma Repentance
    Ceremony, based on the Bodhisattva
    Ceremony. There will be an option to include
    personal repentance.
    • 10:30 — Participants gather for
    neighborhood work: cleaning up the traffic
    barrier area on Milvia, and making bag lunches
    for our unhoused neighbors.
    • 11:15 — Reconvene at BZC for a closing
    circle.
