ZEN DAYS – ONE DAY RETREATS IN ZEN CENTER ATHENS

During a typical Zen Day (10:00 – 18:00) we have 6 Zazen periods with Kinhin (meditative walking) in between, and a discussion amongst practitioners. You should arrive at Zen Center strictly by 10:10. After zazen starts, and once the door to Zendo is closed, you will not be able to enter.

The lunch break takes place at Zen Center in silence and is an important part of the practice. During the meal, participants are introduced to and learn the traditional way of eating practiced in Zen monasteries in Japan, using Oryoki.

During the majority of the Zen Days we have the opportunity to connect with and listen to Koten Roshi’s Dharma talk through the Zoom platform.

Please inform us promptly for both your participation and lunch by emailing us at: [email protected]
