Each year Confluence Zen Center has a sesshin to celebrate the day that the Buddha received his enlightenment. This year, we will have it start on Monday, 01 December and go until Sunday, 07 December.
You can come for all of it, most of it, part of it, or just a couple of times. If you are coming to all or most of it, please let us know at our email address, so that we may plan for food. If you are not eating at meals, then you can just show up to sit.
Included below if the schedule for the sesshin for folks to know what’s happening when and to let people choose when is best if they are only doing some of it.
Confluence Zen will be having an Introduction to Zen and Zen Meditation class beginning 11 Sept, going for the five subsequent Thursdays from 7:00pm to 8:30pm.
If you are new to Zen and meditation or just want to refresh your knowledge, all are welcome.
The cost for the series is $50 for non-members and $25 for members.
If you wish to attend, you may email confluencezen@gmail.com or call 314.669.4465. Or let Myoshin know at any zazen session.
On November 19th, Confluence Zen Center had a book signing and talk around Daigaku’s latest translation effort, The Formless Record of the Transmission of Illumination, a commentary by Inoue Gien Roshi on Keizan Zenji’s Denkoroku.
The event was well attended and Dagaku gave a speech on the work, its relevance, why he chose this work for his next translation, and of course took questions.
Soon, we will post the entire lecture given by Daigaku at the event.
