Zen Study Group (The Platform Sutra)

Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch of the Platform Sutra

Good friends, listen. I will sing you a verse of formlessness…


Join us for an in-depth reading of the Platform Sutra, one of the most influential and colourful documents of Chinese Zen. This short but fundamental text explores how to practice, realise and express the Way with independence and clarity. It has had a profound influence on the way Zen imagines itself and shines a steady light on how to embody the dharma in our own time.


Details

We will read, discuss and explore the sutra with our teacher Kynan Sutherland Roshi over three sessions on the following Monday nights (5.45pm - 7.30pm).

April 29
