Summer Zazenkai
With Larry Fuho Trussell and Laura Jomon Martin
August 13, 2022
Zazen is going right into the Ocean of Awareness, manifesting the body of all Buddhas. The natural luminosity of mind suddenly reveals itself and the original light is everywhere. -Keizan Zenji
A Zazenkai is a day of Zen practice in the city. Join us for a silent day of meditation (seated and walking), chanting, mindful eating, temple care-taking, and a dharma talk. We close the day with a ceremony to renewing our intention to live an ethical life.
No one turned away for lack of funds.
This retreat is held in silence.
Please bring your own lunch. There is a refrigerator and kitchen with microwave and stove available if you’d like to do your own cooking.
