This class will meet weekly on six Mondays from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm. It complements the 2024 Spring Intensive, but can also be attended separately. It will give a new student an introduction to traditional Zen practice and be an opportunity for a seasoned practitioner to go deeper in their understanding.

The two texts that we are going to study are well-known foundational Soto Zen teachings:

Eihei Dogen Zenji, FUKANZAZENGI and Suzuki Roshi, ZEN MIND BEGINNER’S MIND.

Fukanzazengi is being chanted weekly at Milwaukee Zen Center and is available on our website: https://mkzen.org/new-page-3

Zen Mind Beginner’s Mind can be ordered from book stores; at least one copy is available in our libray.

Please register for the class by email at info@mkzen.org.
The fee is $60.00 for non-members.
