Let us sit this week and express Metta for Katherine Sobun Thanas, a Teacher of the Suzuki roshi lineage, who suffered a severe injury in a fall and is only expected to remain with us in this visible world a few more days.

Hello,
thank you for letting us know. I will chant for her as well.
Though nothing is ever truly born, and nothing ever truly dies, I feel that those few in the world who say there is no reason for sadness have not lived in a way.
Gassho,

Sit firmly in the place beyond any question of whether you are great or not. -Sawaki Rôshi
Maha-karuna.
Anicca vata sankhara—uppada vaya dhammino
Uppajjitva nirujjhanti—tesam vupasamo sukho
Impermanent are all component things,
They arise and cease, that is their nature;
They come into being and pass away,
Release from them is bliss supreme.

To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

Metta to all who are suffering.

It is simply the dharma gate of joyful ease,"

Tonight's sit and Metta chant will be dedicated to Rev. Sobun , her family and students. And to all others who are suffering or ill in health.
