He is a prolific author\, whose articles appear regularly in the pages of major journals such as Tikkun and Buddhist magazines including Tricycle\, Lion’s Roar\, and Buddhadharma\, as well as in a variety of scholarly journals. Many of his writings\, as well as audio and video talks and interviews\, are available on the web. He is on the advisory boards of Buddhist Global Relief\, the Clear View Project\, Zen Peacemakers\, and the Ernest Becker Foundation. David is one of the founding members of the new Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center\, near Boulder\, Colorado. \n∞ \nZazen\, derived from the Japanese term meaning ‘sitting meditation’\, is a cornerstone practice in Zen Buddhism. At its essence\, Zazen is the act of simply sitting\, yet it encompasses much more than mere physical stillness. Practitioners engage in Zazen with a deliberate posture and mental focus unique to Zen meditation\, emphasizing mindfulness and awareness of breath. Through dedicated practice\, Zazen cultivates clarity\, presence\, and insight\, serving as a pathway to deepening one’s understanding of the self and the nature of reality. \n∞ \nYou may sit with us in our zendo as follows*:\nMonday – Thursday\n7:00-8:00am • Zazen\n5:30-6:30pm • Zazen \nWednesday\n5:30-6:30pm • Wisdom Wednesday\nmeditation + guidance + brief talk/Q&A \nThursday\n5:30–7:00pm • Dharma Talk\nmeditation & dharma talk at 6:00pm \nFriday\n7:00-8:00am • Zazen \nSaturday\n7:00–8:00am • Zazen (online only) \nSunday\n8:30–9:30am • Zazen\n9:30- 10am • Community Tea (in-person only)\n10- 11:15am • Introduction to Zen Meditation (in-person only) \n*There is no Zazen during retreats.
