SUMMARY:One-Day Meditation Retreat led by Zoketsu Norman Fischer
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE REGISTER HERE FOR THE ONE DAY SITTING. \nKannon Do will host a one-day sitting on Saturday\, October 11th. It is led by Zoketsu Norman Fischer\, founder and director of Everyday Zen Foundation. This day of mindfulness offers a rare opportunity to turn our awareness to the simple activities that sustain our lives\, and that we normally take for granted: breathing\, walking\, eating\, being attentive to the workings of our mind. The distractions and pressures of daily responsibilities diminish\, giving a wider world view a chance to appear\, along with a sense of gratitude and calmness. We encourage you to organize your schedule so that you can attend this one day retreat. If you are interested in attending or have questions\, please contact Dan Geiger at dan@dangeiger.com. \nZoketsu Norman Fischer was ordained by Zentatsu Richard Baker in 1980 and received shiho (Dharma transmission) from Sojun Mel Weitsman in 1988. He practiced at the San Francisco Zen Center for 25 years\, serving as co-abbot from 1995 to 2000\, when he founded the Everyday Zen Foundation\, which he continues to lead. An author and poet\, his most recent Dharma books are When You Greet Me I Bow: Notes and Reflections From a Life in Zen; Mountains and Rivers Sutra: Teachings by Norman Fischer; and The World Could Be Otherwise: Imagination and the Bodhisattva Path. His most recent poetry titles include Through a Window\, Men in Suits: A Poem\, and Selected Poems (1980-2013). His websites are NormanFischer.org and EverydayZen.org. Norman and his wife Kathie have been married for more than four decades. \n
