February 16, 2010: We have now had two Zen Heart Vajra Heart one-day retreats, and have an initial attendee following of around 50.  Thanks to all who attended and helped launch our new teaching venture!  Lama Palden and I are extremely excited and energized to see the possibilities for developing a fusion of two great contemplative traditions and finding new ways to make the dharma workable and accessible for Western practitioners.

We'll be doing a lot more with the website soon--posting audio and perhaps some video of teachings, inviting attendee comments and suggestions, and telling you more about our long term schedule and plans.

 The next one-day will be on Saturday, April 10, and will be the second half in our teaching on the Heart Sutra.  We are not sure of the place yet, but we'll be emailing everyone soon with an invitation and details.

Bows,  Lew Sensei
