Saturday, September 20, 10am-noon, at the Nebraska Zen Center in Omaha<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is the temple where my dharma<\/a> brother Nonin teaches. He\u2019s recovering from surgery and I\u2019ve wanted to get down and see him and help out at the temple. We just arranged this workshop. I\u2019ll also give the talk on Sunday so if you\u2019re in the neighborhood, come on by.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For the Saturday workshop, we\u2019ll discuss the types of study, how study relates to the rest of practice, how study can be a disease, and how study can be a medicine.<\/div>\n
