Cloud Dragon: The Joan Sutherland Dharma Works
www.lionsroar.com/everything-is-enlightenment/ You can visit the Cloud Dragon site for access to a big collection of talks, videos, and other materials by Open Source founding teacher Joan Sutherland Roshi.

Joan's new book Through Forests of Every Color: Awakening with Koans, published by Shambala, is available for order on the publisher's website. It's also available from Amazon in paperback and as a Kindle edition.

Joan has done four Zoom conversations about the book, two of them hosted by Open Source Sensei Megan Rundel. You can listen to them here: Two other interviews, one with Tricycle on May 31, one with PZI (Pacific Zen Institute) teacher Jon Joseph on September 19, might not be available without subscriptions. You can check the Cloud Dragon home page for possible updates. There's an audio file of the PZI conversation on the PZI site--if it's not accessible without a PZI membership please let us know.

There's also an important new piece by Joan at Lion's Roar: "Everything Is Enlightenment."

Golden Oldies: Joan's also featured in an informative roundtable discussion about koans (along with our friend Judy Roitman [Kuan Um Zen Master Bon Hai])  in this old issue of Lion's Roar.
