Weekend Sesshin, In Person Only
Weekend Sesshin In Person Only
with Tim Burkett
March 24 - 26
At this traditional meditation retreat, we follow the forms and rituals used in the Soto Zen tradition for centuries. Weekend sesshin includes zazen, kinhin (walking meditation), liturgy, dharma talks, formal vegetarian meals using oryoki, dokusan (one-to-one meetings with the teacher), and work practice. If you are new to sesshin practice at MZMC, attendance at the Zen Forms and Etiquette class is required. Please note that we will be starting at 7:00 a.m., rather than the usual 5:45 a.m.
This retreat begin at 7:00 on Friday evening with an orientation and meditation ending at 9 p.m. All participants must attend the orientation.
Three meals are served on Saturday and two in Sunday.

A Note About Donation-only Programming
Following the Buddhist tradition of dana, or giving, MZMC offers all of our programs on a donation basis. We offer a suggested donation amount to help people understand the average amount we hope to receive to continue to make these offerings. We encourage those with more capacity for giving to make a donation above the suggested amount to support those who need to give a smaller amount.
