All-day zen meditation

Posted

HONESDALE, PA — Two Rivers Zen Community (TRZC) will hold a zazenkai, a daylong retreat devoted to zen meditation practice, on Sunday, August 30. Doors open at 7:45 a.m. and the first sitting begins at 8 a.m.

Zazenkai literally means “coming together for zazen.” It is an opportunity to intensify and deepen practice in a supportive group setting through the experience of periods of uninterrupted meditation, walking meditation, a dharma talk, service, mindful work practice, a meal and face-to-face practice meetings with a teacher. Silence is observed throughout the day, which will end at 3:30 p.m.

All are welcome whether or not you have any meditation experience. Zen meditation instructions and an orientation to zendo forms will be provided for newcomers. The cost for the day is $40 for non-members, $25 for members, and includes lunch.

Enrollment is limited. Reserve your space on a first-registered, first-confirmed basis by mailing your check or money order payable to TRZC, PO Box 1036, Honesdale, PA 18431. Include your email address with your check or money order for a confirmation of your registration.

On Sundays, TRZC offers zazen (sitting meditation) followed by a dharma talk and discussion. Beginning instruction can be arranged by appointment. Email chugai108@gmail.com.
