Although an awakened life is our natural birthright, we consider Zen training and following the Buddha’s path to be a privilege, an honor, and an extraordinary opportunity. What we can provide you with at the Santa Monica Zen Center is an environment and training matrix in which your inherent perfection can be realized and actualized. What will then begin to be revealed within you are your own natural equanimity, generosity, gratitude, appreciation, love, patience, and service. So we essentially can’t teach you anything. But we can assist you just as we have been assisted along this path. For some, as training and practice deepen, the desire to assist others will begin to manifest itself. Our training is designed to help you achieve this. And we also understand that not everyone will carry this desire. We have attempted to design the progression of our training program to include and support your aspirations at any level. |
