Jay Rinsen Weik leads a retreat workshop at the Toledo Zen Center on January 25, 2009.

"For restful thoughts, one does not need space;
The room where I lie is 10 foot square.
By the western eaves, above the bamboo twigs,
From my couch, I can see the white mountain rise.
But the clouds that hover on its far distant peak
Bring shame to a face that is buried in the world's dust."
--Po Chu'i
