Ben Connelly - Online Visiting Teacher



We were honored to have Soto Zen teacher and author, Ben Connelly of Minnesota Zen Meditation Center join the Shao Shan sangha online. 
This week was the conclusion of our study group on his latest book: Inside the Flower Garland Sutra: Huayan Buddhism and the Modern World.  He spoke with us joyfully about the essense of Huayan Buddhism as Interdependence, Social Engagement and Abundance.  Thank you to Ben for bringing alive this topic and thank you to all who participated.
