Please consider sharing it with your sanghas. Gassho, Shishin The great Japanese Zen master Hakuin once exclaimed, “How priceless is the merit gained through the step-by-step practice of the Five Ranks of Master Tozan!” In The Five Ranks of Zen, Gerry Shishin Wick, Roshi offers a comprehensive and accessible entry point to this pinnacle teaching of Zen Buddhism. Wick presents multiple translations and offers thoughtful commentary on both of Zen Master Tozan’s formulations of the Ranks—the Five Ranks of the Relative and the Absolute and the Sequence of Merit— as well as offering guidance on the applications in contemporary life and Zen practice. Zen students and practitioners of all levels will benefit from this essential guide to Tozan’s exploration of relative and absolute reality. The Five Ranks of Zen is available everywhere books are sold on November 11.

Dear Sangha Siblings and fellow ZCD ZPI Affiliate members, The Auschwitz Bearing Witness Retreat is the core event among all the social justice practices and activities developed by Bernie Glassman and the Zen Peacemakers International. Karin Roshi has done this retreat in the past, sangha member Greg Clark intends to go this year and some of the members (from Germany and Poland) in my Cohort 3 in the Zen Peacemaker Order have expressed their intention to go this year. There is more info on the ZPI website or you can contact me with questions about anything concerning ZPI. Our tendency in life is to avoid things that frighten us. But in order to become whole, we need to go deeper and deeper into ourselves by reaching further into the things we fear. The Holocaust was the state-sponsored persecution and mass murder of millions of European Jews, Romani people, the intellectually disabled, political dissidents and homosexuals by the German Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945. Adolf Hitler’s “Final Solution” came to fruition during World War II, with mass killing centers in concentration camps. About six million Jews and some five million others, targeted for racial, political, ideological, and behavioral reasons, died in the Holocaust—more than one million of those who perished were children. Join us in Poland to bear witness to this horror. November 17 - 23, 2024 CLICK HERE TO REGISTER CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO
