Just Sitting
Sunday, April 28
Zen master Dogen advises us to “put aside the intellectual habit of chasing words and phrases, and learn to take the backward step that shines the light inward.”
Zazen is the heart of Zen. On the last weekend of every month, we dedicate the Sunday Open Zen time period to Just Sitting, a concentrated block of zazen.
Just Sitting begins at 9 am:
Three 35-minute periods of zazen with 10 minutes of kinhin (walking meditation) in between.
Followed by tea or coffee and conversation.
**Please arrive by 8:45 and be seated on your cushion by 8:55.
