EVENING ZAZEN

Doju is leading virtual evening zazen for the IU Buddhist Study Association and extends the invitation to our local sangha.  We've posted the link in our listing of  virtual practice at right.  Doju advises, "We have been keeping our video on and muting our audio once we start in order to simulate a shared but quiet space, but we sit without looking at the computer screen so as not to be distracted. It's a little weird at first to meditate together online, but the idea is to help motivate people to practice at a particular time and for a particular length of time. Without a framework like this, it can be easy to get distracted or to stop maintaining a good schedule. If you aren't comfortable sharing your video, that's fine too, but I would encourage folks to if you are able."
