Awakening to the Sacred Moment

Kuanyin

A Zoom Zen Retreat Day - September 12, 2020

These are such difficult and challenging times with the coronavirus pandemic and a deeply divided country, that one can easily get caught in collective fear and anxiety. How can we navigate these treacherous waters and contribute to the well-being of ourselves, our communities, and our world? “Awakening to the Sacred Moment” is the theme for our Zoom Zen Retreat. Collectively, we will support one other in taking the time to pause, reflect, and bring wisdom, courage, and compassion to ourselves and those around us.

As Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh explains:
When the crowded Vietnamese refugee boats met with storms or pirates, if everyone panicked all would be lost. But if even one person on the boat remained calm and centered, it was enough. It showed the way for everyone to survive.

Let us practice together in these difficult times so we can be that person.
Zen Master Chong An Sunim from the Original Light Temple will join us for the start of our day-long retreat. Register for the Retreat Here

There is no set fee to join this retreat, however, donations are encouraged to support the Ordinary Zen Sangha and Orginal Light Temple.
