ZEN HERE – FINDING A HOME IN THE WESTA Two-Day Retreat with James Myoun Ford Roshi
Beginning formal Zen training in 1969, James Myoun Ford Roshi has long and deep experience of Zen practice in both monastic and non-monastic forms. We are honoured that Myoun Roshi has agreed to reflect over his many years of deep work and the many lessons learned participating in the process of transplantation of Zen to the West.
On the first day of the retreat Myoun Roshi will look backwards and share some of these lessons. On the second day, Myoun Roshi will project these learnings forward, laying out the essentials that need to be in place for Zen to flourish within Western culture over the next century.
As well as group presentations, Myoun Roshi has graciously agreed to meet students individually in dokusan (practice interviews). The daily schedule will run from 6am to 6pm (pacific time). European students will be able to participate in the morning schedule on each day (and longer if they wish). Myoun will give his talks and be available for sanzen during the morning period to allow for this.
