Shoaku Makusa – Refraining from Evil

Fall Book Study Group with Burt Togen Quinn
Wednesdays, Sept 16 – Oct 21, 6:00 – 7:30pm
In person at Stone Creek Zen Center.

We will be examining Dogen’s fascicle “Shoaku Makusa” or “Refraining from Evil” in the book Deepest Practice, Deepest Wisdom: Three Fascicles from Shobogenzo with Commentary by Kosho Uchiyama

The world is on fire! Given these times of profound civil and environmental unrest, let us look at Dogen Zenji’s view of this situation and how we might negotiate this catastrophe for the benefit of all beings.

We recommend that all participants read the text before the start of the class on September 16.
