This 5-week Zen meditation course is focused on cultivating kindness and compassion in your meditation practice and life. We’ll be focusing on a variety of practices geared towards engendering kindness towards oneself, others, and to the world.
These practices were laid out in great detail by the Zen teacher, Torei Enji, a few hundred years ago. They form a beautiful foundation for developing a "baseline psychological well-being" and are seen as the platform for deeper insights. Please plan to allocate 25-30 minutes each day for meditation.
Over the 5 weeks we’ll be exploring a variety of topics including:
Cultivating psychological well-being
Loving Kindness practice
Compassion practice and the bodhisattva Kannon
Physical, mental, and emotional benefits
Sympathetic Joy
Equanimity in practice and how this can be nourished
The history of kindness and compassion practices in the Zen tradition
