Frederick P. Lenz Foundation Distinguished Lecture in Buddhist Studies and American
Culture & Values: "Five Expressions of Zen: A Path to Service" with Roshi Pat Enkyo O'Hara, PhD
Roshi’s work with social activists, teachers, therapists and chaplains led her to design a template for an awakened path of service. The Five Expressions of Zen (Meditate, Study, Communicate, Act and Care) is a Buddhist practice that balances individual expression with service in the world. The ability to wisely and compassionately express the Way in our everyday life and in our service to the world is the culmination of this path. More.

Zen Intensive Weekend: "The Bodhisattva Vow as Koan"
with Roshi Pat Enkyo O'Hara, PhD
Throughout Zen history, there has been a dialectic between self as unique expression and self as interrelated being. The Bodhisattva Vow is a clear expression of this relationship. This workshop will investigate the question of what it means for each of us to serve as a Bodhisattva, to be ourselves and at the same time save all sentient beings. How do we sit like the lotus on a bed of muddy water? More.
