On Friday April 17, 7:30 pm, Dave Peters, author of "Who Is Singing In Chinese? Notes From A 100-Year Zen Retreat," will read from his book and answer questions.
Our co-sponsor, Orange Sky Yoga, is hosting this reading, which is free and open to the public. OSY is located at Blue Earth Place (corner of So 3rd St and Fort Riley Blvd, Manhattan, KS). Please use the staircase on the SE side of the building near the Radina's drive-thru.

The retreat will begin at 5:45 am and end at 4:15 pm. We will bow, chant and sit together in a one room limestone school house in the Flint Hills, ten minutes from
downtown Manhattan, KS.
The retreat is open to the public. Cost is $45 for the general public, $30 for members of the Kwan Um School of Zen, and free for Dharma Teachers and Dharma Teachers-in-training.

Dave Peters is abbot and senior dharma teacher of the Isthmus Zen
Community in Madison, Wisconsin. He began Zen practice in 1973 at Shasta
Abbey, Mt. Shasta, California, under the direction of Roshi
Jiyu-Kennett. For many years he wandered in and out of zendos and dharma
halls in California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, and Wisconsin,
carefully avoiding commitment to any tradition. In 1997 David began
practice in the Kwan Um School of Zen with Zen Master Dae Kwang and
William Brown, JDPSN, and in 2007 received bodhisattva teacher precepts
from guiding teacher Thomas Pastor, Zen Master Ji Haeng.
