Zen meditation is a discipline, a practice, and a path that dates back over 2,500 years to the historical Shakyamuni Buddha. As a discipline, it helps us cultivate openness and concentration, heightening our awareness of both our inner being and the world around us. As a practice, it helps us discover who we are, develop greater compassion for ourselves and others, and open up to the deeper layers of experience. As a path, it is a way to grow, to deepen, to let go, and to live. Zen meditation is simple, easy, and accessible to everyone, no matter what your age, background, or experience. We will explore basic meditation techniques for use while sitting, walking, and chanting. Each session will include explanations and discussion of the philosophies behind the practice of Zen meditation. Please wear loose fitting clothing.
