Welcome to Sanshin Zen Community!
Coming up
ONE DAY WALKING RETREAT
October 22 This one-day retreat includes the usual Sunday morning practice activities. We’ll engage in three styles of walking practice during our day together. We’ll do morning kinhin in the zendo, then head for the Pate Hollow Trail near the Paynetown State Recreation Area for some mindful walking in the style of Thich Nhat Hanh and some silent hiking. Read more. 
STUDY GROUP
begins October 26 6;30 - 8 pm On available Thursday evenings we'll get together for zazen followed by presentation and discussion of an element of Soto Zen teaching and practice. This group is an outgrowth of Hoko's recent Ivy Tech class on Zen basics, but everyone is welcome to attend and participate. 
GENZO-E: KATTO
November 1 - 6 The text for this retreat is the "Katto" fascicle of the Shobogenzo, in which Dogen Zenji takes the term to mean the transmission of the dharma from master to disciple rather than its more traditional connotation of "complexity." Read more. 
ROHATSU SESSHIN
November 30 - December 8 This sesshin commemorates the enlightenment of Shakyamuni Buddha. During this sesshin we practice in complete silence. The schedule consists of fourteen 50-minute periods with a short break, following each meal. The sesshin is an opportunity for participants to focus strictly on zazen with minimal distractions.
