| Zazen as the Practice of Intimacy | |||
|
With Zoketsu Norman Fischer
August 20-22 (Fri-Sun) at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center A weekend to explore zazen as the path of intimacy |
|||
|
In our practice, zazen is the path and practice of intimacy. It takes us beyond our aloneness to a sense of belonging to time and space, our moment to moment experience. For Dogen, the Japanese founder of Soto Zen, intimacy includes and goes beyond interaction with another person to a total warm encounter with life, with being itself. We will practice zazen according to Dogen's instructions and study his ”Universal Instructions for Zazen” (Fukanzazengi).
