Danica Shoan Ankele, Senior Monastic

Zen Center of New York City, 1/6/2019

“Seeking answers with closed ears is like trying to touch the ocean bottom with a pole.”  Opening with a poem by Ryokan, a 17th century Zen master, Shoan encourages us to stop creating, let go of our fixed ideas, and practice attentively listening to ourselves, to others, and to our world.
