Zazenkai: A Day of Just Sitting Zazenkai: A Day of Just Sitting
–
Sun, Jul 9, 2023Join us on July 9, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, for a rare opportunity to spend a day of “just sitting.” There will be 8 periods zazen, kinhin, bowing and eating. We will maintain silence throughout, with the exception of bells to mark meditation periods, and chanting the refuges aloud at 3 pm.Participants should plan to come for the whole day. A break mid-day will allow time for sack lunches to be eaten outdoors.There will be a 10-minute period of bowing at your own pace prior to the lunch break, and we will have two periods of fast kinhin. Both of these activities can be adapted to harmonize with individual needs and abilities.The fee is $15 or what you can afford. Please register and pay on the website or bring a check that day or before. Please plan to attend for the entire day.To register, use this link:If you have any questions, contact the retreat director, Ryushin Andrea Thach, andrea.thach@gmail.com.
