Jay Rinsen Weik gives a talk and leads discussion at the Toledo Zen Center on October 22, 2008.

"Now I have a single robe,
\nnot made of gauze or of figured silk.
\nDo you ask what color it is?
\nNot crimson, nor purple either.
\nSummer days I wear it as a cloak,
\nin winter it serves for a quilt.
\nSummer and winter in turn I use it;
\nyear after year, only this."
\n - Han Shan
