Summer Grasses: How-To Haiku

Saturday, June 9
1 - 5 pm
With Daigan Lueck and Gary Gach

Library


It's no secret. Haiku are not only one of the world's briefest and most universal literary forms of the 21st century—haiku are also pure Zen. Haiku are nuggets of creative, present-moment, natural awareness. In this special day we'll map the basics, take a relaxed haiku walk (ginko) around the splendid grounds of Green Gulch, and share what we encounter, written and unwritten.

Discover how entering the way of haiku can train our clear seeing and deep listening, intuitive wisdom and warm heart. With haiku, we can make each word, each moment, each breath count (not necessarily in 17 syllables) ... sense our senses ... harmonize perception and expression ... refine concentration and mindfulness ... and trust our child mind, surprise mind, beginner's mind.

Recommended for all ages (8-108), no prior background; writers and non-writers; practitioners and the merely curious.

San Francisco Zen Center (SFZC)

Established in 1962 by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi and his American students, San Francisco Zen Center is a Soto Zen Buddhist community with three practice places in the SF Bay Area: City Center, an urban temple in the heart of San Francisco; Green Gulch Farm, in Marin County, where fertile fields meet the ocean; and Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, the first Zen training monastery in the West, in the Ventana Wilderness inland from Big Sur. At San Francisco Zen Center, zazen, study, and work practice are available to a diverse population of students, visitors, lay people, priests, and monks. All are welcome!
