Head teacher Teah Strozer's talks and teaching this spring will focus on the topic of time. Teah’s description of the subject is as follows:
This spring our community will be focusing on how we practice with time. There is no such thing as time. Time is a mental construct. But we live bound by it: losing it, wasting it. We're told to live 100% in the present moment, a moment of eternity. But we choose to live in linear time. In spiritual practice, we hope to be enlightened, later. Over the next few months, we’ll explore this notion of time with masters Eihei Dogen, Shunryu Suzuki Roshi and Dainin Katagiri, and the writers Virginia Woolf and T.S. Eliot. We'll look at time and physics. By the "time" we get to our summer retreat we will have explored cutting off past and future as linear realities and living only in this present, realized moment. Please join the Brooklyn Zen Center sangha for a joyful investigation of the illusion of time and the reality of the only moment we know, this present miracle of a moment.
Teah’s dharma talks during the spring teaching season will take place on Saturday mornings at 11am after the first period of zazen.
