Buddhists honor three “treasures” or three “jewels”—the Buddha (the enlightened one), the dharma (his teaching), and the sangha, his community. Our practice is incomplete without a sangha. So for Day Five, arrange to practice with a local zen community.
Here are some ways to do this:
1. Join our Saturday morning practice in the Student Center, room 102, in the Lincoln Park Campus. We begin at 8:00 and continue to about 10:45. Our practice opens with 108 kneeling bows; you may prefer to wait until we begin a series of chants around 8:30. Sitting begins around 9:15. You’re invited to come to the Bourgeois Pig with us afterward for coffee and brunch.
2. Join the Ancient Dragon Zen Gate community for zen practice on Sunday morning, 10:00-12:00 noon. Irving Park Road.
3. Two locations in Evanston: join the Zen Buddhist Temple of Chicago, 608 Dempster, Evanston, on Sunday, 10-12 noon and/or 2:00-4:00 pm.
4. Join the Lakeside Buddha Sangha in the basement of the Congregational Church in Evanston at 1445 Hinman, beginning at 7 pm.
