In the coming weeks, leading up to our fall practice period, Mountain Rain’s guiding teachers and practice leaders will offer a dharma seminar based on our founding teacher, Zoketsu Norman Fischer’s book, What is Zen? The book consists of dialogues between Norman and writer and lay teacher, Sue Moon. Their discussions are wide-ranging, down-to-earth, and probing. We will enter into these discussions with an open, inquiring heart/mind. Please join us, whether you are new to Zen practice or want to refresh your “beginner’s mind”.
Part of regular Wednesday Practice. At both locations, and online. Everyone welcome!
Our Wednesday practice sessions typically consist of:
25 minute sitting meditation (zazen)
10 minute walking meditation (kinhin)
25 minute sitting meditation (zazen)
Dharma seminar: a series on a particular text or theme led by our Guiding Teachers. The format is an informal talk by the teacher, followed by small-group talking circles, sometimes with a writing exercise.
