Bodhidharma Bare Bones 1 Day Retreat

  • London Zen Centre 923 Waterloo Street London, ON, N6A 3X2 Canada (map)

a quiet winter morning at the London Zen Centre

A day of traditional zazen (Zen meditation) and sanzen (learning from meditation).

Upholding the precepts, repentance and giving, the countless good deeds, and the way of right living all come from zazen.  ~ Haukin  

We sit still and quietly in zazen (Zen meditation) for 25 minute periods with 5-minutes of meditative walking between the sittings; there will also be a Sutra service where we recite Zen Sutra’s and also an opportunity for an outdoor meditation walk.

FYI: There is no talking, no meditation instruction, no Dharma talk, just the bare bones of practice.

Everyone is welcome; however, previous experience sitting in a Zen Buddhist zendo is highly recommended.
