Special guest teacher! Roshi Tesshin Sanderson will offer an introduction to the practice of Zen Buddhism. This is a rare opportunity to have a Roshi—which means teacher in Japanese—at Sala Dāna, especially one with Tesshin’s experience. He will explain the fundamentals of the meditation posture (zazen), breathing, and mental attitude, as well as the basics of mindfulness and concentration. He will also present the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path, which are essential teachings of Buddhism.
For those who want more practice, we will continue with Zen style meditation at 19;30 during the regular English session, which will be led by Paul.
