Spring Zazenkai: A One Day Meditation Retreat
April 1, 2023
Saturday, April 1st, 8am - 5pm
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 renew our intention to live an ethical life.
Suggested donation. No one turned away for lack of funds.
**Please take a home test prior to arrival**
This retreat is held in silence.
