Dear Sangha,
Charlene and I are at the end of our first week at Orginal Light Zen Temple. Very welcoming and wonderful Sangha. We love it here!
I would like to share a poem that Charlene wrote about daily temple life.
A Gentle Awakening
The 4 A.M. sunrise illuminates the crown of the yurt.
Then, morning birdsong. A solo recital.
The 5 A.M. Zen drum beckons.
And so it begins.
Shoes on shoes off, shoes on shoes off, shoes on shoes off.
Charlene, Sunim, and Will in front of the Dharma Hall.
