Sunday December 8th – 10 am to 3 pm
In Zen practice, extended periods of immersion in meditation are seen as essential along the path. Zazenkai means “coming together for meditation.” This is a wonderful opportunity for a full day of deep practice with the support of experienced teachers and a like-minded community.
We practice noble silence for the day. This allows us to look inward, while still feeling the support of others. Face to face teachings with the teacher are offered.
Experienced meditators and newcomers are all welcome.
10– 11 am: Silent Meditation – Alternate rounds of zazen (sitting meditation) and kinhin (walking meditation)
11 to 11:30 am: Dharma Talk
For those leaving after the Dharma Talk, please leave the zendo in noble silence.
11:30 am to 12 pm: Zazen
12:00 to 1:00 pm: Lunch time in noble silence. Bring your lunch bag.
1:00 to 2:30 pm: Alternate rounds of zazen and kinhin
2:30 to 3 pm: Open Discussion
