The Four Foundations of Mindfulness
with Melissa Myozen Blacker, Rōshi and David Dae An Rynick, Rōshi
2023 Dates (ET)
January 21, February 18, March 11, April 8, and May 13
This winter and spring you are warmly invited to join with Melissa Rōshi and David Rōshi to explore the roots of Zen practice as taught in early Buddhist texts on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. How can these ancient teachings support and deepen our practice of paying attention moment after moment, in our daily lives and in our formal Zen practice? What does mindfulness mean anyway? Using guided meditations, talks, text exploration and group dialogue, we will explore the Zen perspective on these important basic Buddhist teachings. In the afternoon settle in for two hours of silent Zen practice, including sitting, walking, chanting and individual meetings with a teacher (dokusan). Morning Seminar 10:30 – 12:30 ET (via private Zoom link): pre-registration required- Suggested donation per session – $35 Temple members / $50 non-members
- Free to participants in morning workshop
- Suggested donation for others: $15 Temple members / $30 non-members
