The Book of Balance and Harmony

from $0.00

Zoom

Thursday evenings at 7:00, starting February 12

Taoism has its own simple, naturalistic, and profound way of talking about life and dharma practice. Over the centuries, Taoist culture spun off its own myths, cults,

preoccupations, alchemical obfuscations, etc. A later movement within Taoism, the "complete reality school," sought to cut through the diversions, and re-clarify the

essential teachings. And they shine like gold, indeed!

The Book of Balance and Harmony, at its very beginning, sets out several pages of basic principles, or “statements” regarding form and energy, essence and vitality,

being and non-being. On Thursday evening, we will study these statements slowly, one by one, opening a window on their practical application and universal meaning.

“...All beings are basically one form and one energy. Form and energy

are basically one spirit. Spirit is basically utter openness....Let action

proceed from calm, and be filled by maintaining openness.... When

openness is complete, and calmness profound, observe the process of

' nature and know its cycles.”


All are invited to attend our evening programs or morning meditations. A suggested monthly donation, as you are able, is $25 – $65.00.Or you may drop in (and hit $0 contribution) if you just want to check it out.  Otherwise, please remember to renew monthly.  We depend on your contributions. Thanks.
