Dharma Rain Zen Center - Zazenkai

Zazenkai June 22, 2013

If you are searching for stillness through the practice of meditation, please join us for a day of silent, contemplative practice.

This retreat will be in the style of Soto Zen Buddhism, though meditators from other traditions are warmly invited. The schedule runs from 5am to 5pm, and includes 8 hours of formal meditation. Meditation is silent and seated, and in 25-minute periods. We will also do walking meditation, ritual meal practice, and several different chanting services.

Pre-registration is required, and registration will be closed after June 19, 2013. The cost is $15 for Dharma Rain or ZCO members, and $20 for non-members. Breakfast and lunch are included in this cost. If you have questions, contact the Center.
