Meditation retreat - Sesshin
-
A new feature! Ryumonji Monastery now offers you the possibility of carpooling, in order to share travel costs while reducing your carbon footprint. A more ecological and economical solution, while sharing a convivial moment between retreat participants :) More information below.
This sesshin is open to all, beginners and advanced alike, and is an opportunity to dive into the heart of Sôtô zen, experiencing a practice passed down through the centuries permeating all aspects of daily life.
We will do 4 sessions of zazen - sitting meditation - per day, interspersed with samu (group work), silent meals and ceremonies.
Master Wang-Genh gives teachings on different themes. There will be opportunities to ask him questions in individual talks - dokusan - or in assembly - mondo. It is also possible to ask him questions by email which he will answer during the mondo.
The sesshin will take place from 15 to 18 August. Arrival on Wednesday at 5pm. Explanations about the practice at around 7pm. Departure on Sunday after lunch and check-out (around 3 pm).
