No Sitting for the near future

Dear Friends,

How are you?
I hope that you are doing well.

For the near future, we'll not be able to hold the Meditation session regularly unless we have some space on Campus.

Unfortunately, since one of our great supporters in the Wellness Education Center left to Arizona University, we couldn't get some strong supports.

I'm really sorry for this news.

We'll keep in touch with you by sending some good news.

Quynh will continue to be in charge with this.

For the long time, many members made a great contribution to our group.
Special thanks are given to Quynh, Bill (above picture), Joe, Anh, Jae Seoung, Emily, Jonathan, Guarione and the nameless supporters.

Every day is good day. Two are going, but one does not get wet.

Our body and mind is very place for our sitting.

I sincerely hope that you take care of yourself.

Summer Sitting in Other Traditions of Zen

Dear Friends,

During the Summer, you may sit in any type of Zen group around your resident place.
You may find several Zen groups around Buffalo in our homepage.
Their traditions are quite different on their features and forms.
But in a broad context, the essence should be the same.

The students of Zen are, sometimes on purpose, willing to learn other traditions, other teachers and other religions.
We hope that you can experience other traditions of Zen and meet some Zen teachers in different traditions this summer.

The Zen Dharma Community is one of them.
Tuesday 7 p.m the sitting starts.

Dr. Jannet Ludwig, the professor at UB, is one of leaders of Zen Dharma Community.
She has been offering some Buddhism classes at UB and other school.

Okhee, Bill, Quynh, Katrina, Jin and other members are sitting there during the summer.

The sitting of the Zen Dharma Community is held at Westminster Presbyterian Church.

Here is the best place to park and the only door to enter the church building at night:

Westminster Presbyterian Church is located on Delaware Avenue near Summer Street.
Next to the church, directly on the southwest corner of Summer and Delaware is the United Way building.
They have a parking lot behind their building that they share with the church.
Enter the United Way parking lot from Summer Street and park in the far corner, next to the rear of the church.
Walk through the gate in the fence that separates the parking from the church.
Turn right and take the first left, and the sidewalk will lead you to a glassed-in porch that is the Kitchen Entrance to the church building.
There is usually someone in the kitchen to direct people to where we are sitting tonight.
It will be the Parish Hall, which is on the second floor. If no one is there, just wait a moment and lots of people will be arriving, so it wont take long to get directions to the Parish Hall.

If you have some further question, ask Ray, contact@buffalozen.org
Tel. 687-3572

Have a pleasant summer.

Next Semester

The Department Informed the Schedule for Next Semester:
The Wednesday Sitting : will be held from 5:00pm to 7:00pm.

Sitting on Wednesday during the rest of Fall semester

Dear Dharma Friends,

How are you?
This season has a great meaning for the student of Zen Buddhism.

The Buddha's Enlightenment Day (Dec. 8) is coming soon. All Buddhist monestries are very busy to prepare the Yongmaengchungjin(no lying down, 24 hour sitting during one week from Dec. 1 - 8).

On our regular sitting schedules, we made some significnat changes.

From now on, we do the siting only on Wednesday 5-7 pm at the South Lake Village Community Hall during the rest of this fall semester.

I sincerely apologize for the cancellation on the Saturday sitting.
We have faced some difficulties making reservations and securing some meditation places.
Finally, Grace and Elise tried to help maintain the Saturday sitting.

In fact, we have unprecidented benefits from the UB.
This Wednesday sitting is offered by the Wellness Education Department at UB.
We are sponsoring the session led by Meditation teacher, Okhee.

This Zen Meditation session is open to all people of WNY communities. For next semester, we are trying to do Wednesday sitting from 5 to 8 pm.
It is free.

Occationally, we will hold special events on Weekend. This coming December, we will do a long day sitting on Buddha's Enlightenment Day.

I sincerely hope that all members will register for the Zen Meditation session through the internet (http://workshops.buffalo.edu/).

For the long time, many dharma friends made a great contribution for the Saturday Sitting. Among them, special thanks should be given to Jae Seung, Ahn, Emily, Dzung, Quan, Guarionex, Jonathan, Niko, Grace, and Elise.

Joe L. wil announce all follow-up schedules every week.

See you on Wednesday
