Saturday 7th – INTRODUCTION TO ZEN MEDITATION 10am – 12noon, This is an introduction to the form of Buddhist meditation known as Serene Reflection Meditation, called Soto Zen in Japan. In a small group we discuss the mind of meditation and show the various physical postures used. We then do a short meditation period together which is followed by an opportunity to ask further questions about the meditation. We also look at Zen ceremonial, at how meditation leads to the wish to live an ethical life, and how to carry meditation into daily activities. Please wear loose-fitting clothing when you attend the introduction. We hope the information given in our introduction will give you a sense of our form of Buddhist meditation and whether it is something you would like to explore further. If you are intending to come to an introduction, please call or email the priory beforehand and let us know. We do not charge for the introduction or for any of our activities.
