Hell is other people: A Dharma Talk by Shijun Heather Martin, San Antonio Zen Center

  • Teacher Shijun Heather Martin
  • Date/Time  Saturday, March 18th at 10:15am
  • Location  In person & Online Zendo
  • Fee  By donation*

Shijun Heather Martin has been practicing Soto Zen meditation at the San Antonio Zen Center since before it existed, and the Austin and Houston Zen Centers even longer. She received dharma entrustment as a lay Zen teacher from Rev. Colin Gipson earlier this year. In addition to private practice as a registered dietitian, she’s also the Candy Corn Science Correspondent for the Today Show’s Food section. She encourages you to try out this Zen thing, and to consider incorporating breathing, eating, and sleeping into your busy schedule.

This quote from the play No Exit is often misunderstood, but even Sartre’s own understanding was anchored in dualism. How can we meet conflict between ourselves and others around us? In the koan “Zuigan Calls Himself Master”, Zuigan calls on all of us to see clearly.
