Visualization and mantra recitation on Vajrakilaya - the powerful remover of obstacles.
Time:
8:30am - 10:30am
Description:
Long time Zen student and Rochester resident Rafe Martin was recently authorized by his teacher, Danan Henry Roshi, to teach in the Zen Buddhist tradition. As an addition to our regular schedule, White Lotus is happy to have Rafe teach meditation and lead discussion on Saturday mornings. Rafe’s intention to provide Zen teaching and guidance in practice in an atmosphere that is lay and non-institutional mirrors White Lotus’s efforts to establish the Buddha-Dharma in America. Interestingly, this arrangement is reminiscent of Buddhist temples in China where one could find teachers of different traditions within a single complex. Thus, there would be Cha’n, Pureland, Huayan, and T’ien-t’ai teachings side by side. White Lotus members interested in these sessions will find a welcoming environment.
