About The Event

This half-day Sesshin offers students the opportunity to spend a morning in silence, immersed in Zen practice. The practice consists of sessions of sitting meditation (Zazen) and meditative walking (Kinhin) in between. At the end of the Sesshin, a special period is reserved for the Mondo, during which the students can ask any kind of questions (problems arising during practice, impressions gained, methods of sitting or walking, etc.). The silence is broken only by the sound of Keisu 磬子 (bowl gong), Inkin 引鏧 (hand gong), Rei 鈴  (small bell) and Taku 柝 (wooden tongs) that mark periods of meditation, kinhin and mondo.


The sounds of these instruments serve as signals that direct students to move from one practice period to another. Verbal communication is done only during times designated for instructions or questions. Hense even if something is not clear one can address it only during Mondo. Communication takes place…
