This event will help us learn more about the practice of each lineage, the similarities and differences between the three traditions, and discuss Chan/Zen Buddhism’s development and their future in America. We invite you to come and bring your questions for the teachers! And, this event aims to bring members of the different sanghas together so that we may cultivate Dharma friendships with each other, and hopefully even catalyze more future cross-sangha collaborations.
