Please join us on May 10th for a day of sitting and a dharma talk.
Madelon Bolling will talk on Jishou Daojen, a person mentioned in the Three Treasures Sangha sesshin dedication. All that we know of Jishou Daojen is that it was a person who studied with the old monk Yuanwu (1063 – 1135).
“When I read the name in our sesshin (retreat) dedication, I didn’t know if it referred to a man, woman, or myth. Had such a person ever existed? Why does this name appear among our other ancestors? More about what I learned from further detective work will be reported on May 10th.
