Come! Come practice and learn together with us - online, while building camaraderie, diligence and having fun. Explore the journey of self-mastery through Chan Meditation.
 
The online session includes guided moving and seated meditation, Dharma talk, Q&A or group discussion, at the discretion of the Teacher. In the event of Abbot's unavailability (at times), he encourages us to continue the session to deepen our practice -together- and to further our faith in the practice, in this powerful continuum of group setting, with practitioners from around the world.
 
Agenda (subject to change):
- Moving meditation (guided, ~30 minutes)
- Seated meditation (guided, ~30 minutes)
- Dharma Talk (live, or video, ~15-30 minutes)
- Q&A or group discussion/sharing (~20-30 minutes)
 
* For session that the Abbot is unavailable, Dharma talk (via video) and group discussion will take place.
 
Please allow enough space in the comfort of your own home/space for moving meditation. For seated meditation, a sturdy/comfortable chair where the thighs can be leveled with the body would be good, although meditation cushions/bench would be best if you have them.
