2/11-14: Daiyuzenji
Sesshin (Zen Retreat)
Daiyuzenji is a Zen Buddhist temple in the Rinzai
lineage, located on Chicago's North Side. They are an open
community from diverse backgrounds, joined together to
support one another in our Zen training. The mission of
Daiyuzenji is simple: to make this transformative
practice available to all, and to ensure its transmission to
future generations.
Sesshin is an
intensive Zen retreat. Beginning very early each morning and
lasting until late in the evening, the sesshin schedule
includes meditation, work periods, chanting, calligraphy,
and other activities. The intention of sesshin is to
completely focus and unify mind and body; the schedule
facilitates concentration, and forces participants to face
themselves clearly without distortion or distraction.
Sesshin is an opportunity to see yourself and your life more
clearly...and to emerge with new insight and strength to
change old patterns of thinking, doing and being.
