I am off to a Zen Retreat for the next few days, at a Zen temple deep in the mountains, invited by a friend who is the priest there … which means:


OUR MONTHLY 4-HOUR ‘LIVE’ ZAZENKAI WILL BE HELD ON Saturday MAY 9th

And our usually ‘Live’ 1-hour Zazen for tomorrow (Saturday May 2nd) will be pre-recorded

Others postings by me may be a bit irregular the next few days, as the internet connection is limited …

But it is good and necessary to attend a Zazen Retreat from time to time, leaving the world’s affairs behind for a period.
Why? 

If just “a moment of Zazen is a moment of enlightenment” … why even bother?


(remember: recording ends soon after the beginning bells;
a sitting time of 20 to 35 minutes is recommended)
