DBZ: Nyogen Senzaki Sesshin
May 6 @ 4:00 pm - May 11 @ 12:00 pm
$400.00 – $450.00
Join us for sesshin honoring Nyogen Senzaki, known for his role in introducing Zen Buddhism to the West. Born in Japan in 1876, Senzaki moved to the United States in the early 20th century, where he became one of the first teachers to present Zen to American audiences. His emphasis on the practice of zazen (sitting meditation) and his ability to bridge Eastern and Western philosophies created a legacy which endures today.
Led by Chigan Roshi, this sesshin will explore Senzaki’s teachings and poetry, including works written during his internment in Wyoming during World War II. His words continue to inspire us decades after his passing. For more detail and to see a typical sesshin schedule, please visit the Dai Bosatsu Zendo Sesshin page.
