Ms. Martin will be teaching the ten Zen Ox-head pictures of human development, and introducing some Zen koans, in addition to the Lankavatara Sutra which concerns the mind, consciousness, and delusion.
The classes will focus on the original work of Suzuki and on the translations he did while working for Open Court Publishing Company beginning in 1897 and continuing for 11 years. D.T. Suzuki is still revered as a leading Buddhist priest, and as the person who introduced Zen Buddhism to the Western World.
