The Zen Fellowship of Alexandria invites you to join us on February 1, 2025 at 10:30 AM for an introduction to Zazen (seated Zen meditation). Zazen is the direct path to living here now. It is a practice that transcends intellectual study, engaging the body and mind in a state of dignified non-action, with no reason, no purpose, and no personal gain.
Through sitting in the posture of Zazen, practitioners return to a state of mental and physical equanimity—automatically, spontaneously, and naturally.
Regular Weekly Sitting:
- Sunday, 9:00 AM: Formal: Zazen/Kinhin + sutra chanting and formal ritual
- Wednesday, 5:00 PM: Informal: Zazen/Kinhin only
