Sunday, January 23rd, was a well-attended online 1/2 day meditation retreat (Zazenkai).
We joined together online supporting one another in a morning of intensive practice. The day's program included opening & closing ceremonies, zazen(sitting meditation), kinhin(walking meditation).
As has become tradition for January Zazenkais, the Dharma Talk was on Shao Shan Temple's New Year's Greeting message. Rev. Kenzan spoke on "Nurturing Ground". A version of this Dharma Talk will be in a future newsletter.
The opening ceremony included a brief memorial for Thich Nhat Hanh, as we honor and remember this great Zen Teacher who has been such a positive influence for so many.
