Great Tree Zen Women's Temple
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 4 ก.ค. 2014
Great Tree Zen Temple opened its doors in September of 2005. We are located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. Rev. Teijo Munnich, our founder, began to envision the establishment of a residential center for women in 1983. Since that time the vision has expanded and broadened. The name “Great Tree” implies a tree that reaches in many directions and nourishes all beings.
"The primary purpose of Great Tree Temple is to provide opportunities to enter more deeply into the practice of self-reflection in order to learn to live in peace and harmony with all beings. With the awareness that everything cannot be done at once, and that the full realization of this vision may not even happen in our lifetime, it’s important to remember that every step in our development is part of our spiritual practice."

What is Awakening? With Rev. Teijo Munnich
Disciple and Dharma heir of Dainin Katagiri Roshi, Rev. Teijo Munnich studied with him from 1975 until his death in 1990. She received formal training at Hokyoji (Catching the Moon Zen Mountain Center) in Minnesota, Tassajara Zen Mountain Center in California and Hosshinji in Obama, Japan.
Rev. Munnich was ordained as a Zen priest in 1981. About 1983, she began to envision a residential practice center and community and at its heart, a zen residential practice for women. This came to be Great Tree Zen Women’s Temple, incorporated in 2004. After an exacting search, a location was found with suitable space, and Great Tree opened her doors in 2005 in Alexander, NC.

Thank you for showing some respect to this teacher and thank goodness nobody asked her to put her paypal in the chat like you did to another teacher. 🙏🏼
Please be more polite to the teachers you have on. I found the opening part about her paypal was quite rude. She kept apologising, and had nothing to apologise for. You may have wanted to be kind by having her put her paypal in the chat so people could offer her Dana but the whole exchange seemed so rude. She apologised and apologised and there was nothing to apologise for on her part and actually you all should have apologised to Osho for not organising it in advance . The question was about Dana for her, so.. be generous... she shouldn't have to put her own paypal in the chat... people should do that for her....that is much more respectful. the particularly rude person was the woman in the zendo. It doesn't reflect well on your zendo if you treat teachers like this.
What about satori?
If we are born breathing and alive it is certain that we have also inherited death. There is no other way. 👶👨🧓👴💀 (Nevertheless, this is a typing error. It should have said dancing instead of dying.)
Why is the title of video " if you are breathing you are dead" ?
Namaste I think it could be translation error instead of dancing. But even dying is also true in tantrik perspective. We have limited breaths in our life, tortoise breaths very slowly and lives 200 years while dogs live only 15 years. Our indian yoga and tantra teaches that all supernatural knowledge and powers are achieved when breathing is suspended for considerable amount of time. This may not be easy and possible for everyone. But in a sense even subject line is also true. Thanks
Thank you- very wonderful

Try it and find out for yourself- assuming it is possible for dreaming machines to stop dreaming.
It looks he is talking about Angulimala Sutta. Why did you give the title of a different - Mahayana canon - text?
That was an error. Apologies, and thank you for the shout out. The title was amended to reference the correct text.
I'm so glad Great Tree records the Saturday talks. When the Rev Konjin mentioned renouncing things and gave the example of giving up something to be, say at the Saturday talks, it made me think of intention. How intent are we in our decisions. Are we aware of the importance of what we choose. I don't usually think about renouncing this for that and I didn't feel judgement as this is good and that is bad. But the word "renounce" was a good reminder of our practice of mindfulness and lent weight to how we live our lives. Thank you Rev Konjin!
I knew a lady, she was very old when I knew her, almost 100. To talk with her you would have thought that there was no such thing as death anywhere in the world then or in all of its history. She never never referred to it. In her last days her lungs filled up with fluids and she would have difficulty breathing. The last time I saw her she was lying in bed throwing her head from side to side struggling to to breathe, fighting to stay alive while her caregiver sat at the bedside trying to comfort her. I've seen maybe 5 or six people die or very near to it. None of them fought it...but this woman fought it like crazy. She was not a religious person, not at all...but I wonder if it would have been much different if she had been? Hope so. Whatever else one might say, in her case death was an undisguised blessing.
what a treat! thank you for sharing 🙏
Very inspiring. In terms of your business in selling dairy and other similar products, have you explored the possibility of selling your dairy products to nearby Jewish communities? You could sell a line of your dairy products with a kosher certification called cholov Israel, meaning that the oversight of the milk production is done by a Jew. There is a chabad house at 127 Macdowell Street in Asheville. They most likely can supply additional info as to the feasibility and market for such a community. It may be a valuable service to such a community. Just thought this might be of interest to you. All the best.
I was so excited to hear this and learn about the book - ryokan is such an important part of my life…. How hugely disappointing to see the book is priced at $35!!!! Who is the audience for a book priced this way? scholars, libraries…? Surely not regular ol’ me-how disappointing. Well Ryokan also wouldn’t’ have afforded his book :-)
true.
Thank you very much!
