Upright sitting-Zen is a gesture of healing, a gesture of compassion, a gesture of self-respect. From the vista point of this practice we can see things clearly, as they are, stripped of emotional overlays and intellectual interpretations. Such seeing can be called Buddha’s wisdom.

Our Tanto (Practice Leader), So On Jim Hare, will lead this one-day of sitting and walking meditation. There will be a Dharma talk and silent bag lunch.

• Please bring a bag lunch.
• If this is your first time practicing with us or your first one-day sitting, please call Jim at 916-456-7752 or email info@valleystreamszen.org 
• Registration on Eventbrite.com – or sign up on a Monday evening. $20 or inquire about scholarship.
• Our one-day and half-day sittings are held on the first Saturday of every month.
