Zen Studies: Maturing through Practice

Zen Studies Program - In Person and Online $15 Donation at the door or through [Zeffy](https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/zen-studies-with-daiko-august--2026) for livestream Join Rev Richard Daiko Smykla for a talk on the **MATURING THROUGH PRACTICE** As we move through this life, we tend to exchange old stories for new ones, but always there is a backdrop of old fears like a shadow that haunts us. In order to fully mature, we need to see through these stories, to identify and come to grips with our maladapted behaviors and strategies. Zen practice helps us to surface our perceived shortcomings, and engage the process of transforming them. We commit to sharing our lives and relationships in more ethical and appropriate ways and behaviors. \* IN-PERSON at our Cherry Hill [zendo](https://www.jizo-an.org/directions), or ONLINE: [REGISTER](https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/zen-studies-with-daiko-august--2026) FOR ONLINE EVENT (in-person need not register online)
