Faces of Compassion - Spring Practice Period 2025
Shakyamuni as Bodhisattva
Dharma Talk by Emyo Darlene Tataryn
Saturday, April 5th
9:00 am - 11:00 am ET (New York)
Online
Join us for the first of the seven bodhisattva archetypes from Taigen Dan Leighton’s Faces of Compassion. This session explores Shakyamuni as a Bodhisattva archetype. The journey from Prince Siddhartha to becoming the Awakened One offers several elements that set the pattern for all the bodhisattva archetypes.
Share with the sangha as we listen to the reflections of senior dharma teacher Emyo Darlene Tataryn, followed by question and response. After a short break you are invited to our weekly morning service and zazen practice.
The Spring Practice Period is open to anyone.
There is no fee for this event. A donation requested.
About Emyo Darlene Tataryn
A pioneer, Darlene has been doing the work since the early 70's. Her depth insight comes from working deeply with somatic healing, dance therapy, developmental and expressive movement, meditation, and other "mystic" practices. She is the creator of the Asaya Process and Maitreya's Chair; two practices which open this breathing body into receptivity, release tension, realign the spine, and bring the body into natural, blissfully calming, self-healing cycles.
As a long time Meditation instructor and Counselor with an Expressive Therapy Bias, Darlene understands and is able to navigate between the disciplines of therapy and meditation. She is steeped in the understanding of the interconnection and interdependence of all of nature. As a Zen Priest and Mondo Zen facilitator, she is able to guide and orient healthy ego function to the service of clarity and depth of heart and mind.
Darlene's history included the Rinzai Zen Hollow Bones Lineage, The Karma Kagyu Lineage, and Sahaja Marg.
