Sunday Afternoon Half-day Zazen
with Guy Riina
A zazenkai is a mini-retreat; it's a one day, or half-day, version of sesshin, usually scheduled on a Saturday or Sunday. For those of us who have difficulty scheduling several days for sesshin, a zazenkai gives us the opportunity to sustain our personal meditation practice in a community setting. In addition to sitting zazen and walking kinhin meditation there is also tea and cookies and a short talk.
Guy Riina, Chōan Tetsugen :: Morning Hermitage, Penetrate Source, one of MBZC’s resident priests, will lead.
Please contact Guy with questions and to let him know you will be participating.
