Self, One Self, Not-Self

Dear YUZ,

I'm delighted to write to you again after six months away. 

We will meet tomorrow (Tuesday) night at 7:15 PM in the Buddha Hall at 300 Page St. You're more than welcome to come a few minutes early to help set up. We will sit Zazen and discuss this:

Self, One Self, Not-Self

It sure seems like I have a self--an agent of action, one who makes choices, does work, gives gifts, harms others, apologizes... So what do we make of this teaching of No Self of not-self? If Zen says I don't have a self, how could my life possibly work out? Let's take a clear-eyed look at some teachings on not-self to bring this liberating view to life, without the confusion.

I hope to see you there.

Warm bows,

Kodo
