Home of the Texas Bodhi Society, Room 121 is open a couple of times during the week for meditation.

Practicing Zen, its followers at Southeast follow the path of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, who is the Jesus Christ of Buddhism. He renounced nirvana in order to save all sentient beings.

The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara practice makes one listen to, and be mindful of one's own nature and by means of listening attain the wonderful function. Listening to own nature has no boundaries and it can accommodate all sentient beings while saving them. We worldlings only react or become concerned about what we construe to be external or outside sound. Negligent of our True Nature, we hardly ever try to listen to it and our hearing is partial as a result of it. When we listen to own nature, our listening is not delimited by time. Perceiving one's nature thus, one's listening is complete and continual and one's joy and happiness are permanent. He is going to teach us how to follow his Dharma practice and establish mindfulness by listening to Self Nature.
