Hsin Hsin Ming Class with Susan M and Ellen W

Hsin Hsin Ming Class

      The great way is not difficult
for those who have no preferences.
When love and hate are both absent
everything becomes clear and undisguised.
Make the smallest distinction, however,
and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart.

All are invited to join Ellen Webb and Susan Marvin in a study of the sixth-century Zen poem, the Hsin Hsin Ming (“Faith in Mind”). The class will meet on four Thursdays (March 6, 13, 20, 27), 7:15‒8:45 p.m.
      We are happy to be offering this class, after postponing it from its originally scheduled dates.
This famous poem expresses the far-reaching truth of the enlightened mind, the Buddha mind in all of us. True faith is our grounded belief that we have this mind right here—constant, still, and central to our life of practice.
More information and handouts will be forthcoming as the time nears. The class will be offered in hybrid form, though we encourage participants to attend in person if that is possible. Please watch for updates on the BZC listserv and on the BZC website. For now, mark your calendars!
