June 14 – Sangha Meeting

On June 14 after the Sunday morning sit, we’ll come together for shared stewardship in a Sangha Meeting. All are invited!  Meikame is coordinating an agenda, so please let her know of any topics you’d like us to discuss.

[Edit: Added details below about the space search process on Jun 7.]

Right now, we have a space that, under typical conditions, works well and meets our needs. However, we are aware that it might not work well in the future primarily because of accessibility issues and occupancy limitations due to fire codes. 

As we think about whether we want to look for another space or not, we need to clarify what is important to each one of us individually and what each of us thinks is the best for the sangha. 

The Pre-Meeting prep survey that was shared asks you to reflect on Oxbow Zen and clarify your personal perspective ahead of the sangha meeting next Sunday, June 14.  If you’d like a copy, please email us. Please bring this page with you to the meeting — or email it to Meikame and Soshin if you can’t attend.

June 21 2026 – Study: The Six Perfections – Chapter 6: Wisdom

We’re studying “The Six Perfections: Buddhism and the Cultivation of Character” by Dale Wright. Study will continue on the third Sunday of each month. Note that each chapter, at about 40 pages, is a more substantial amount of reading than prior study texts.

Schedule: June 17 2026: Last chapter, Chapter 6: The Perfection of Wisdom (Prajña paramita).
