STUDY AND PRACTICE CLASS: the art of just sitting


  • Milwaukee Zen Center 2825 N Stowell Ave Milwaukee, WI 53211 USA (map)

The theme for this Fall is THE ART OF JUST SITTING.
Just sitting - shikantaza 只管打坐 - is the core practice of our school.
Let us together explore what that means in our life.

The study text for our exploration is John Daido Loori’s book with the same title:

During these eight weeks we will find out what Zen Masters from Hongzhi Zengjue to Zogetsu Norman Fischer have said about this practice which is assumed to be beyond words. Besides reading and discussion, these sessions will also give us an opportunity to experience the practice directly.

This will be a “hybrid” class: you can either attend in person or by zoom:
