A zazenkai is a mini-retreat; it's a one day, or half day, version of sesshin, usually scheduled on a Saturday or Sunday. The day focuses on sitting meditation and walking meditation. 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. By donation/dana direct to MBZC, any amount, as affordable.
“When dharma does not fill your whole body and mind, you think it is already sufficient. When dharma fills your body and mind, you understand that something is missing.”
“Genjo Koan” by Eihei Dogen, translated by Kaz Tanahashi.
