Please join us on Sunday, May 12th, at 6:15 for zazen and at 7:00 for a dharma talk by Josho Pat Phelan. The title of her talk is "The Practice of Whole-heartedness." Josho has been at the Chapel Hill Zen Center since 1991 and brings depth and wisdom to the practice. Several of her talks are posted here.
Sitting begins at 6:15 and the dharma talk begins at 7:00. If you join us for the sitting, please observe mindful silence until 7:00. We will have chairs, cushions and benches for sitting but feel free to bring your own. They will be arranged Soto Zen style facing the wall. When the bell rings at the end of the sitting at 6:45, there will be a 10 minute slow-walking meditation, kinhin. At 6:55, we will break for 5 minutes to rearrange seating for the dharma talk. There is no fee but there is a dana box near the door if you wish to make a donation to support The Chapel Hill Zen Center or the Bhavana Community programmi
