RETREATS, EVENTS AND WEEKLY CLASSES

Join Ryuen Sensei and Lost Coin for a three-day online Koan retreat: Koans: Surpassing Understanding.
 
Using Zazen, we will tune into our deep connection with the unknown to find the space in which the koan resolves itself.
 
We will begin by discussing what koans are, why we practice them, how to sit with koans, common traps in koan practice, and how to break down a complicated koan from the Blue Cliff Record.
 
The real exploration starts when we turn to our everyday lives and uncover our stuck places, using them as our own personal koans.
 
This retreat is designed to open our eyes to the richness of intensive koan practice, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced student.
