4 x Tuesday Evenings
6th August – 27th August
7pm – 9pm
Zen is a practice path for human beings to approach our experience of life in a way that leads to liberation, wisdom and compassion. It is entirely “experiential” and can only happen in this very moment, in this very place.
We may be introduced to this practice through teachings and guides, but ultimately the practice is completely independent of any particular spiritual tradition. In this sense, Zen practice is about what we do in response to each and every moment of our lives. It calls us to enquire deeply into the nature of self and to face our fears and longings so that we might resolve the great matters of life and death … It shows us how to live fully in order to awaken completely to a profound tenderness and intimacy just as Sakyamuni Buddha did before us.
Structure and content:
This is a 4-week course. Each session will introduce an aspect of Zen teaching, followed by formal sitting and a short Q&A.
