    Loss and Grief — and Zen
    with Mark Kanchi Esterman Roshi


    This is an opportunity to share and explore our experiences of loss and grief and their relation to our Zen practice. The losses we experience come in many forms, not only persons and relationships but pets, health, jobs, possessions. Rather than a course about an abstract or impersonal subject, these classes address our personal experiences and the questions that arise from them — questions which many if not all of us Zen practitioners have faced or are facing in our own lives. 

    "I feel you’re bringing the heart of Zen and you’re manifesting it in the Loss and Grief class….  I feel it’s something really important you’ve added to the Sangha.  It goes beyond ego, beyond personal, pride and jealousy and all that stuff, it goes beyond. It's just human to human. It's just real. It's authentic, genuine.”      — Genpo Roshi

    This is an opportunity to share and explore our experiences of loss and grief and their relation to our Zen practice. The losses we experience come in many forms, not only persons and relationships but pets, health, jobs, possessions, and so on. Rather than a course about an abstract or impersonal subject, these classes address our personal experiences and the questions that arise from them — questions which many if not all of us Zen practitioners have faced or are facing in our own lives. 

    "I feel you’re bringing the heart of Zen and you’re manifesting it in the Loss and Grief class….  I feel it’s something really important you’ve added to the Sangha.  It goes beyond ego, beyond personal, pride and jealousy and all that stuff, it goes beyond. It's just human to human. It's just real. It's authentic, genuine.”      — Genpo Roshi
