Zazenkai December 4, 2022

Zazenkai is a period of additional meditation than is usually done. In our case, our bi-weekly meetings are one 25 minute period.

This zazenkai allows for about 2 hours of Zen practice, both sitting, walking and standing.The time of each practice period is still about 25 minutes. There is just more time for a couple extra periods of zazen or walking meditation. There will also be a short dharma talk and discussion.

We’ll conclude with a snack at about 11am. Please bring a vegetarian dish. Ellen and I will provide tea, coffee, crackers/bread, cheese and a dish. Contact Bill Cooper for more information or questions.

Beginners are welcome. Why? Because we’re all beginners.
