SUMMARY:One-day Sitting: Riding the (Mind) Donkey
DESCRIPTION:This is a day-long meditation retreat with a Dharma talk by practice leader Rev. So On Jim Hare. “Riding the ox” or “riding a donkey” are phrases used in Zen stories to describe our responsive encounter with mind-consciousness during sitting meditation practice and in our daily lives. \nWe will look at a couple of these stories during our day of mostly silent sitting and walking meditation. Some experience with day-long sitting is recommended\, but everyone is welcome. A schedule for the day and Zoom link will be sent to those who register. Your generosity makes these sittings possible. Thank you.\n• REGISTER on Eventbrite.com \n\nDuring the Covid-19 pandemic\, we meet online using Zoom video conferencing software.
