Dharma Talk - Rev Kathie Fischer

Sunday July 20, 9:45am

As part of our Sunday morning program guest speaker Rev Kathie Fischer will give a dharma talk.

A few words about Kathie Fischer from SFZC’s website:

Sokaku Kathie Fischer began practicing Zen in 1971 with Sojun Mel Weitsman at the Berkeley Zen Center. She was ordained a Zen priest at San Francisco Zen Center in 1980 by Zentatsu Richard Baker, and continued residential practice at Zen Center for 15 more years. She received Dharma transmission from Sojun Weitsman in 2011 while in the midst of her 28-year career as a school teacher in Mill Valley. Since retiring from teaching science to adolescents she has turned her attention to studying and teaching Dharma. Kathie and her husband Norman are parents of adult twin sons and grandparents of three children.

A note from the AZG Board:

When there are guest teachers, you may like to offer dana (as a gift of money) as an acknowledgement of the great effort the teacher has made to travel here, setting aside time for you, preparing a talk for you which naturally draws upon their many years of selfless effort. For Kathie Fischer, you can do this by making a donation to the box in the zendo foyer on Sunday, by giving money for the host to relay to the guest teacher, or directly to Kathie’s venmo @Kathleen-Fischer-27.
