April Sesshin: This is a Dream


  • Great Vow Zen Monastery 79640 Quincy-Mayger Rd Clatskanie United States (map)
 

The Dharma teachings remind us to regard experience as dream. Could it be that our thoughts, ideas, views of separation–are a dream?

The dream-like nature of reality is a teaching on the empty yet apparent nature of experience. It is a teaching of liberation and love.

During this sesshin we will explore the nature of experience through the lens of dream. We will be encouraged to bring awareness into our night-time experience & dreams, and we will open our awareness to the deep + subtle manifestations of this waking dream.

What is a dream made of? What is the dream ego made of? These are crucial inquiries for a person on the path of liberation, the path of awakening, the path of dreaming.

This is the dream expressed within a dream, prior to all dreams.–Dogen Zenji
