Becoming a Larger Container for Life

“Are you becoming a larger container for life?” —Joko Beck

Calling on the wisdom of the late American Zen teacher Joko Beck and the Zen Buddhist tradition, Flint will speak to what it means to become a larger container for life – to open up to more.

Specifically, he’ll invite us to contemplate Beck’s poetic version of the 4 Noble Truths*, especially “Each moment, life as it is, the only teacher.” We’ll explore how accepting life as it is can make room for more life to flow to and through you.

No previous experience with Buddhist teachings or practices is required. This is an opportunity to explore our theme “There is More in This Life” from a Zen perspective and leave with a fresh spirit, more interior space to breathe, and a new way of engaging with life as it is. Join us!

*Note: “The Four Noble Truths are the Buddha’s basic teaching. These truths encapsulate the goal, practice, and philosophy of of Buddhism. These famed four truths provide a framework for understanding the nature of suffering and the path to liberation from it.” —Lion’s Roar, (edited)
