Sesshin, meaning “to gather the mind,” is a traditional, silent Zen meditation intensive. It is an opportunity to come together as a Sangha in support of our practice where we create a space to settle deeply into sitting and embody the teachings of Buddha. Setting aside grasping and rejecting, picking and choosing, together we simply meet what is most directly present with attention and openness, moment after moment. Sesshin at Buddha Eye Temple consists of zazen interspersed with kinhin (walking meditation) chanting, samu (work practice) and formal oryoki-style vegetarian meals
Registrations must be completed in person at the temple. Registrations will be available three weeks before the beginning of Sesshin
