Introduction to Zen and Zazen

A 2-HOUR INTRODUCTION

Would you like to learn more about the history of Zen Dojo Zürich, Zen and Zazen, as well as the life of the Buddha?
Would you like to receive practical instructions on sitting (zazen), posture and breathing, walking meditation (kinhin), and the use of the stick (kyosaku)?

Depending on time, you will also learn about the daily life of the monks or the instruments in the entrance area of the dojo.

Once the procedures are practiced, a full Zazen session will be held:
35 minutes of Zazen, around 5 minutes of Kinhin, and another 35 minutes of Zazen.
During the second Zazen, there will be oral guidance (kusen).

Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to ask questions (mondo).
