Intro to Zen Meditation
Do you want to learn how to meditate and explore its benefits?
Join us for an introduction to zazen, a formal zen meditation practice that develops samadhi (a state of pure relaxation and clarity with a unified mind and body condition) and cultivates KAN (spiritual intuition).
This "crash course" will introduce you to Rinzai Zen practice. Participants will learn about Zen practice and meditation through instruction and discussion. At the end there will be Zen Calligraphy Demonstration!
Everyone is welcome. No experience is necessary.
There are no membership fees, and Zen training is available to any, regardless of their ability to pay. For this introductory class, we ask for a $10 donation to help support our efforts and maintenance of our space.
Sunday, July 14th at 9:30 am.
