Retreat with Rev. Jiro Andy Afable, Early Light Zendo, October 28-30, 2011

Jeff Covey — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 14:39:07 +0000

This retreat is jointly sponsored by Ka Shin Zendo and Burning House Zendo and will be held at the Burning House Zendo location in Lutherville, MD.

Jiro Andy Afable, Abbott of Early Light Zendo in central Massachusetts, is a recognized teacher and lineage holder in the Rinzai school of Zen. A longtime member and leader of Ka Shin Zendo, he was also the vice abbot and teacher at Dai Bosatsu Zendo in Livingston Manor, N.Y. He has practiced and taught in Massachusetts since 2003. From his website: “He recognizes the pitfalls of a facile eclecticism or a narrow view of tradition. He senses the emergence of a Zen movement in the United States that is converging with the best impulses and values of Americans and looks forward to teaching Zen in Massachusetts as the Buddha Dharma moves forward in this century.“

The retreat will include dharma talks and personal interviews for those interested. The cost for the retreat is $50.

Website renovation and social media pages

burninghousezendo — Wed, 04 May 2011 00:55:04 +0000

We’ve moved our website to a new platform to make it possible for multiple sangha members to post updates as needed, and have created accounts with a couple of social media networks:

There’s also an RSS feed now at http://burninghousezendo.org/feed/.

Anything posted on our site should be reflected on our Twitter and Facebook pages, so feel free to follow our updates through your news source of choice, and please forward information about the zendo and upcoming events to anyone who may be interested.

We hope these new alternatives will help you stay informed about sangha news, and that we’ll see you at the zendo soon!
