The Koan for May, June & July
Sharp Sword, Coral Branch
What is the blown-hair (sharpest) sword like?
Coral branches support the moon.
Newsletter
We send a newsletter for every first, third and fifth (when there is one) week. It shows what we're doing, and has poetry and pictures and some writing about the koan, and life, and sometimes what's going on in the world.

Support Us
Practice is its own reward, but money is encouraging and helps pay the bills. Our tradition typically relies on donations and that works pretty well when everyone gives what they can. Also, generosity and reciprocity are deeply satisfying for both the giver and the receiver, and sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. If you like what we do together, please make a donation.
Donations can be made below on Paypal, or by sending a check to the address in the footer.
