SUMMARY:Zazenkai (Daylong Retreat): Awakening in the World
DESCRIPTION:Zazenkai (Daylong Retreat): Awakening in the World: Kongshi Daoren \nSaturday\, February 15th\, 2025\nThis course is offered in-person & virtually\nRegister Here \nFor this Zazenkai\, we will explore the theme of ‘Everyday Zen’ through the life and teaching of Kongshi Daoren\, a woman ancestor in the Chan tradition. Kongshi was a Zen Master\, poet\, and teacher who lived most of her life as a lay practitioner. Her awakening poem includes the line\, “Every single thing holds all things.” \nThe day includes both sitting and walking meditation\, one or two movement sessions\, a Dharma talk from Valerie\, and a Q&A session in the afternoon. \nIf you plan to attend in person\, please bring your own lunch; tea will be provided. To attend in person\, please read and follow our COVID-19 Protocols for MCZC’s current policies on masks\, vaccinations\, and testing. \n∞ \nZazenkai is a term used in Zen Buddhism to refer to a day of intensive meditation practice. The word “Zazenkai” is of Japanese origin\, where “za” means sitting\, and “zenkai” means gathering. During a Zazenkai\, participants engage in periods of sitting meditation (zazen)\, walking meditation (kinhin)\, and may also include chanting\, dharma talks\, and other activities related to Zen practice. Zazenkais provide an opportunity for practitioners to deepen their meditation experience and strengthen their commitment to the path of Zen Buddhism. These events can vary in length\, with some lasting a full day\, as mentioned in your previous messages. \n∞ \nSample Schedule (Mountain Time)\n6:30-8:00am: Sitting\n8:45: Movement\n9:00am-12:00pm: Sitting and a Dharma talk\n12:00pm-1:00pm: Lunch\n1:00-3:30pm: Sitting and Q&A \n* Note for online participants — the retreat Zoom room will open shortly before 6:00 AM MT.
