Great Master Keizan's Pure Meditation Retreat
“Pure meditation opens us
so that we may directly realize the Foundation of our minds
and dwell content within our own Buddha Nature.”
So speaks Great Master Keizan, one of the great ancestors of Soto Zen, in his “Instructions
on How to Do Pure Meditation.”* Rev. Master Meian, our Abbess, will lead us in the study
of this beautiful and also practical text to help us deepen our practice and apply it to our
daily lives. She will offer Dharma talks, Dharma discussions, and private spiritual counseling
for each participant. The retreat is open to those with some experience of Soto Zen meditation and practice.
*This text is in Buddhist Writings, and will also be available here soon.
