Zazen (Seated Meditation)
May 2, 2028 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Formal Zazen Practice
Tuesdays & Thursdays 7:00 pm
Please join us on Tuesdays and Thursdays to experience The Rinzai Zen Buddhist practice at KoKyu Ji Zendo. Taught by teachers and long-time practitioners, we concentrate on the essential elements of Zen practice — zazen (seated meditation with attention to posture and breath), chanting, and samu (work practice). Learn how to use jihatsu (three traditional bowls) in formal meals, eating attentively in silence.
You will have an opportunity to dive deeply into the Buddhist studies program, buddhist esoteric teachings, and have a clear understanding of your practice and intellectual knowledge. We also have full weekend sesshins, and seven day sesshins.
