Saturday, February 20, 2016 @ 8:45 AM to 5:00 PM
Dharma Drum Mountain Chan/Zen Meditation Center
255 H Street,
Fremont, CA
This is the first of the three hands-on Chan Meditation
Learning Series in 2016, Practicing Chan with the Essential Fundamentals, which
sets a solid foundation for Gilbert’s subsequent teachings for you to become
introduced to more advanced methods of Chan practice, such as Silent
Illumination (2 of 3 on 4/22 & 4/23) and Huatou (3 of 3 on 9/16 & 9/17.)
With these Learning Series, you will discover which of the methods you have the
greatest affinity with, and it can become your core practice in daily life.
For this first not-to-be missed weekend, Gilbert will
discuss the essential points of the Chan Meditation practice. You will learn
the fundamental methods of relaxation and concentration, and fully settle your
body and mind. You will come away with a better understanding of what the
proper meditation practice is and why it works. We will practice meditation
throughout the one-day retreat under Gilbert’s guidance.
