Zazen Meditation + Dharma talk or Kinhin

The meaning of the word zen is meditation, zazen means sitting meditation. In zazen practice we begin to know ourselves, and to go beyond the limits of our personal ego. Within our tradition zazen is referred to as shikantaza, not doing, letting go of thoughts, dropping off body and mind. This sitting meditation is the focus of our practice. Language limits our ability to communicate the true nature of zen; it is something that is better understood
through practice. We are open to everyone interested in learning about zen.
Intro workshop for newcomers is available at 5.30pm each Sunday. The dojo is a sacred place and it is important to be considerate of everyone. We have many people that travel to practise together once a week or once a month. So for that reason it is really essential that we all know the structure of the sitting practise (when to sit, how to do Kinhin, the different bell sounds and their meaning etc), to ensure a silent, safe and meaningful meditation. And it's also great to meet everyone before the sitting practise. And answer any questions you may have.

We have zafus and zabutons (mats and cushions) for all to sit on. Chairs are available too.

Comfortable clothing for sitting, black or neutral tones best.

We greatly appreciate a donation of €5 to cover costs if it's possible for you.

Please arrive 10min before start so 6ish (if you're not doing the intro workshop).

You are very welcome to our dojo!
