"Un Zen méridional" Dogen Sangha

A small group dedicated to transmitting the teachings of Gudo Wafu Nishijima roshi, of which Michel "Yudo" Proulx is a Dharma heir, in Montpellier, Southern France.

A Single Thread

A Single Thread is a small but beautiful Buddhist householder practice that started about 10 years ago in our backyard. Literally! We converted our garage, built a little solitary hut and an eco-friendly lu and offer as much practice as a small sangha can do. We are small but dogged about Buddhist practice. Our main focus is to bring the teachings and practices of Buddhism into the Householder life. We offer many of the traditional practices of silence and sitting but make room for babies, dogs and various lifestyles. We learn the traditions but do what is possible. Most of us have families, jobs, children, pets and lots of stuff to do and take care of every day. A Single Thread makes allowances for the household life without watering down the power of the Dharma.

The commitment to take care of what we have received and to pass it on to future generations so that peace and compassion become a reality, is nothing less than actualising the bodhisattva vows.
