Fall Practice Period ▪ September 23 - November 18, 2018

Practice period offers a way for you to enter more deeply into zen practice by

making practice commitments for a period of time. In this fall practice period,

we will study and practice the noble eightfold path, one of the Buddha’s first

teaching on how to live a spiritual life. The 8-fold path connects us to wide

view, deep intention, connected speech, action and livelihood, and joyful

effort, concentration and mindfulness.

Morning Gatha - Recite verse and do one full bow

Waking up this morning, I vow with all beings

To remember my deepest intention, and practice diligently.

Evening Reflection

How did I practice the path today?

What is my intention for this moment and tomorrow?

Bedtime Gatha - Recite verse and do one full bow

Going to sleep tonight, I vow with all beings

To calm all things, allowing the mind to become clear and undivided.

My overall intention for this practice period is:
