Zen Meditation

Meditation will be offered on the 1st and 3rd Saturday mornings of each month. In the past, the Vipassana Group has met on these dates while the Zen Group has met on the other Saturdays. Both practices are Buddhist and are not all that different. Conrad Ross will continue to lead the Vipassana ("Insight") Group while Tom Hodges will continue to lead the Zen Group.
Both practices follow the same format of one meditation period (25 minutes), walking meditation (3-5 minutes), and a final meditation period (25 minutes). Readings on Buddhist meditation and sutra chanting are also offered. The schedule will be:
Vipassana Meditation: 1st Saturdays, 10:00 am - 12:00 noon (Conrad Ross 887-6836)
Dharma Reading / Meditation / Walking / Meditation / Reading / Discussion
Zen Meditation: 3rd Saturdays, 10:00 am - 12:00 noon (Tom Hodges 742-9495)
