Gyobutsu Igi with Shohaku Okumura, Taigen Leighton and Byakuren Ragir at Sanshin Zen Community, Bloomington, IN Limited to 22 participants All spaces filled Genzo-e retreats are offerings unique to Sanshin Zen Community. They focus on the study of the Shobogenzo (True Dharma Eye Treasury), the major work of the founder of Soto Zen, Dogen Zenji. Although the Shobogenzo is considered to be one of the most important Buddhist texts in Japan and has been translated into English several times, it is very difficult to understand without studying the text in its original language. The genzo-e retreat is therefore a rare opportunity for in-depth study of Dogen with teachers who have studied the Shobogenzo extensively and practiced with its insights for many years. Two 90-minute lectures are offered each day with some discussion. Breaks are offered to allow study and discussion of the teachings. In honor of Sanshin's 15th anniversary, this genzo-e will include talks and teachings from Taigen Leighton (Ancient Dragon Zen Gate, Chicago) and Byakuren Ragir (Clouds in Water Zen Center, St. Paul) in addition to those from Shohaku Okumura. Plans are underway for a closing panel discussion on the final morning which will be open to the public and serve as a keynote activity for the anniversary celebration that day. Accommodations
You may choose to sleep in the zendo with your own bedding, in our dorm, in your own tent on our grounds, or somewhere offsite for which you've made arrangements. There is no charge for sleeping on the zendo floor or in your tent while you're attending a Sanshin practice event. No need to add anything to your shopping cart; just indicate on your registration form that that's your plan. If you prefer a dorm space, please reserve below; note that women's sleeping spaces have filled; one bed remains for a man. Please be sure to indicate in your shopping cart the number of nights for which you are reserving a bed; the default is one.
