The Life and Teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha Retreat
This seven-day meditation retreat, led by Rev. Master Shiko Rom, will focus on the Life & Teachings of the founder of our religion, Shakyamuni Buddha. In previous years we have explored the teachings of many of the great masters in our tradition. Now we return to our roots and see how Serene Reflection (Soto Zen) Meditation comes out of the Teachingsof Shakyamuni and how His Teachings and His Life of Lovingkindness, Compassion and Wisdom are so important to us today. She will offer Dharma talks, Dharma discus- sions, and private spiritual counseling for each participant. This retreat is open to those with some experience of Soto Zen meditation and practice.
Please check the calendar or contact the Guestmaster with any questions you have about future seven-day retreats.
