In haiku, we pay attention to the moment without embellishment. We embrace the moment as it is, not how we would like it to be. Just this, right here, right now.
Wabi-sabi is valuing imperfection, impermanence, and the natural devolving of everything born or made. Just this, right here, right now, as is.
Zen also teaches us to pay attention. The past is gone. The future is unknown. The only thing we have is this present moment. Meditation helps us to mindfully attend to this moment, just this breath, right here and right now. We learn to be where we are completely.
Our premise is that wabi-sabi, haiku, and zen all provide important lessons in many things, including selflessness, acceptance, non-discrimination, compassion, and self-compassion.

Carl Bachmann received Dharma transmission from Roshi Robert Kennedy in 2010 and obtained the White Plum Asanga title of sensei. He took the dharma name "Genjo," meaning "original silence." At his installation, he said, "Zen has helped me experience the intimacy of not knowing, allowing me to live a more connected and openhearted life. Teaching is an opportunity to help others experience this for themselves and to serve the greater community that is us." Sensei Bachmann teaches at Clear Mountain Zen Center in Montclair, New Jersey.
