Hybrid Zen Day on Saturday, February 11, 2023

…………………………………………………..

Teacher: Knud Rosenmayr JDPSN. 

Start: 07:00

End: 16:00

Zen Days are short retreats that give us an opportunity to deepen our practice and come back to our breath. We look through our habitual thought patterns and find the source of our deepest wisdom and compassion.

This joint (online) Zen Day of the Vienna Zen Center together with the Zen Center Bratislava will presumably take place via Zoom: If there is a sufficient number of registrations, we will be happy to hold this short retreat at the Zen Center as well! 

Beginners are very welcome!

“Most of our retreats are relatively short: one, two, or three days, or perhaps three months. But Buddha practiced very hard for six years and Bodhidharma sat for nine years in a cave above Shao Lin Temple. How can we possibly attain what they got? Actually, it’s very simple: At this moment, just apply yourself with sincere effort in asking this question: What am I? That means investigating closely. That means cutting off all thinking — waking up from your like and dislike dream. At that point, you and Buddha and Bodhidharma become one.” (Zen Master Dae Kwang)
