What is the Purpose of Taking Refuge? – A Dharma Talk by Kokyo Henkel

Saturday, November 28th at 10:00am

How does Dogen Zenji, the founder of Soto Zen in Japan, understand refuge in Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha? Our practice period series of talks on Refuge ends with this teaching, bringing us to the understanding of our original teacher in Japan.
