Interdependence then and now

A two day sitting with Hoko Karnegis

March 21 and 22

The way we practice with interdependence in Rationalist/Romantic

America has changed dramatically
from the original teachings of the
Pali canon. Interdependence has
gone from being a teaching designed
to help us let go of attachment to the
world to one that underlies engaged
Buddhism and a reverence for the
natural world. How did this happen, and what does it show us
about the continuing transformation of Buddhism in the West?
Well focus on the experience of interdependence during two full days
of practice that include zazen, liturgy, dharma talks and formal meals.
These two days become an opportunity for us to sit quietly, experiencing
the silence of the zendo and allowing ourselves to exist in the reality of here
and now. People are welcome to attend both full days if they wish and
we can accommodate overnight stays with advance notice. You are also
welcome to use these days in whatever way your schedule will permit,
joining us and leaving us at any point in the schedule. Two-day sittings are
intended to offer both intensive practice and a wider time frame for zazen.
Hoko Karnegis has served as communications director at Hokyoji Zen Practice
Community in southern Minnesota since October, 2013. Previously, she was the
interim practice director at Milwaukee Zen Center. She also serves as an adjunct
instructor at Lakeland College in Sheboygan, WI, where she teaches Eastern Religious
Traditions online. In 2005 she was ordained as a novice by Shohaku Okumura, and she
received dharma transmission in September, 2012. She has spent time in several training
temples in Japan and is recognized by Sotoshu as nito kyoushi (second-rank teacher) and
as a shihanhou teacher of baika, a type of Japanese Buddhist hymn created by Sotoshu in
1952. In September, 2014, she received a four-year appointment from Sotoshu as kokusai
fukyoushi, or international teacher.
