April 23, 2025

Date and Time Details: Wednesday - 1:00 - 2:30 pm

Location: Online Only

Zoom Only

In her Dharma Talk “Diving into Impermanence,”Chozen Roshi taught: Impermanence is not just a teaching, it is also a practice. (You can view her Dharma talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuHczgCFWaY)

These monthly gatherings are offered for Silver Dragons that is, people 60 and older, to provide an opportunity to co-create an open conversation about dying, death, grief and related topics. In short to face, contemplate, and practice impermanence.

These gatherings will be facilitated by Temple Priest Nancy Kodo Conover and ZCO member David Seikan Snyder. Each gathering will open with a short period of Zazen. We will then introduce ourselves and explain our reasons for attending. After that, we will just allow the discussion to flow, including discussion of suggested readings. At the end of the gathering everyone will have an opportunity to express how they are feeling or anything that is on their mind and heart. 

We have created a Mattermost Channel “Silver Dragons Monthly Gathering — Practicing Impermanence” to (1) post suggested readings, podcasts, etc. and (2) provide an ongoing discussion forum. Please email thayandi@live.com to get connected to Mattermost. 

Any other questions?  Please email thayandi@live.com.
