On Wednesday, February 4, I’ll speak at Kannon Do Zen Center in Mountain View, California. Kannon Do is a long-established Japanese style Soto Zen center. It was founded in 1968 and sits today in the center of Silicon Valley.

I’m looking forward to visiting! Kannon Do invites everyone in Tech Community Zen to join online or in person:

• When: Wed, February 4, 2026, practice starting at 7:10pm (talk at 7:55pm)

• What: Dharma Talk: Zen, Tech, and the Logic of Not Knowing

• Where: Find full details and a Zoom link here

With the uncertainty and difficult news in our world every week, I hope you will take a moment to reflect on the effects of our practice.

When we reflect, empathize, and are available to help others, the benefits spread to the whole universe. Even when it is difficult to see the effects, we can all know that they are there 🙏
