Diamond Sangha

Every Tues/Thurs I jump out of bed, excited to get to the Kansas Zen Center to practice. The familiar feel/sound of the gravel path & the soft light of the Dharma room are so inviting. The sound of the bell fills the room as we come together to practice. What an honor to sit with two Zen Masters who openly share their practical teaching. I ask myself the same question every time. Why isn't every person in Lawrence coming to practice here?

The Kansas Zen Center is where I have been practicing Zen Buddhism for quite a while. It is an honest part of my life and has given me the mind I need to practice off the cushion as well as on. What an extraordinary gift. I treasure it every day.

I attend the Buddhist mediation services at the Temple Buddhist Center inside the Unity Temple on Sunday. I was interested in expanding my experiences so on a whim I decided to attend the Korean Zen Mediation service last night.
