Join us at 10:30 AM for an Introduction to Zen on March 4th. This orientation is intended primarily for individuals new to Zen practice, as well as experienced practitioners who have questions about their contemplative practice. This informal get together takes place on the first Saturday of the month, lasting about 90 minutes.
Please join us after zazen on March 8th for a discussion on Right Concentration.
Tasks include preparing the planter box for the children’s vegetable garden, pull weeds, remove brush, and get the property ready for spring.
Join us for Robe Sewing at 10:30 a.m.
Registration is not required and it is not necessary to attend the full day.
In place of the usual lecture, this coming Wednesday we will engage in the traditional Shosan ceremony, customarily held following a one week meditation retreat. In this ceremony, each participant faces the teacher to ask a question relating directly to his or her practice.
