In honor of the last week of winter we're considering the following koan.
An old teacher once said,
"Good Snowflake!"
"It doesn't fall in any other place."
Please sit with the koan, let it follow you about during your usual activities this week, and see what it has to offer. We'll discuss following this week's meditation on Thursday night. Like a warm blanket on a cold day, this old teacher reminds me that, in all our comings and goings, we are always in the right place.

CityZen is a western style Chan/Zen practice and koan center in the Pacific Zen School led by Rachel Mansfield-Howlett Roshi. Our form of Chan includes a mix of traditional and revitalized practices that open the way to discovering the joy and connection that resides underneath this life. We offer beginning instruction as well as programs that support you all along the way. Everyone is welcome – all faiths, genders, ethnicities, or sexual preference.
