Time, Space, & Knowledge - Online Course
Winter Session - "Self in Question II ":
January 17 - March 21 (no class on January 31)
led by Jack Petranker
The program is open to everyone, whether you have previous experience with the TSK vision or not. It is not necessary to have participated in the first session.
Theme: The Self in Question
One of the key insights of the TSK vision is that there are ways of knowing that are not the property of the self. As that insight awakens within us, we come to learn that there are ways of being that also do not center on the self. Then the way opens for the new vision of reality--and our role within it--that stands at the heart of TSK.
Cost: $90 - for the Winter 2010 session

Presence, Intimacy, and Radical Freedom
TSK Inquiry and a Zen Approach to Questioning the Mind
April 15 - 18, 2010
workshop held at Ratna Ling Retreat Center, Cazadero, CA
Led by Al Rapaport, Ron Purser, and Jack Petranker
This workshop is about conducting presence and embodying intimacy. Taught by three highly experienced teachers from different traditions of knowledge, it will use inquiry, improvisational encounters, and creative dialogue to go beyond what we all already know. The emphasis will be on activating a dynamic aliveness--available right now--that carries over into every moment of our lives.
At the heart of the workshop will be a creative dance between a style of inquiry rooted in Zen and the Time Space Knowledge Vision introduced to the West by Tibetan lama Tarthang Tulku. With lightness and humor we will explore ways to awaken our minds and make a real difference.
The Traditions We Draw On
Al Rapaport is a Zen teacher and practitioner, author of Open Mind Zen , and a Dharma Successor in the White Plum Lineage established by Maezumi Roshi.
Jack Petranker is founder of the Center for Creative Inquiry, past dean of the Tibetan Nyingma Institute, and author of When It Rains Does Space Get Wet? He will draw on the teachings and practices of the Time, Space, and Knowledge Vision and his own work in the field of first-person consciousness studies.
Ron Purser is a long time student of Buddhist teachings and the Time Space Knowledge (TSK)Vision. A professor of management at San Francisco State University, he has a special interest in the contemporary relevance of Buddhism to social issues and transformative education. He is the co-editor most recently of 24/7: Time and Temporality in the Network Society . userwww.sfsu.edu/~rpurser
The Practices
We will use different modes of experiential and improvisational inquiry, shifting between tradition and innovation. Through Zazen meditation and koan practice Zen dialogue, creative inquiry, and TSK exercises, we will activate the capacity for direct experience and immediate insight. There will be time for personal practice, relaxation, and informal conversations.
