    Just to sit, isn’t about being ‘spiritual’, nor
    is it ‘meditation’. Then what is it? Let’s
    explore together. In Zen, the practice of
    simply sitting has been practiced since
    ancient times and has proved to generate
    awareness and sensitivity.
    Dogen Zenji says in the Genjo Koan -
    "without engaging in incense offering,
    bowing, chanting, repentance or reading
    scriptures, you should just wholeheartedly
    sit, and thus drop away body and mind".
    Zazenkai is an opportunity to come
    together and sit together collectively
    supporting each other in the spirit of
    practice. It comprises of short sitting
    periods of sitting meditation - zazen,
    walking meditation - kinhin, soji (seva),
    yoga and short Service. There will be a
    Dharma Talk followed by Q & A. Practice
    discussion will be offered.
    No prior experience is necessary. These
    sittings are suitable for both beginners and
    experienced sitters. There will be an
    opportunity to get a taste of serving and
    receiving formal zendo meals called
    ‘Oryoki’. Ceremonial Meal.
    To attend, to start and to support a ‘Retreat
    Culture’ can support the larger picture of
    social change in a whole nation. Be there!
    Be the change you want to see.

    If your mind is empty, it is always ready for
