Zazenkai
Zazenkai or One Day Retreat
Zazenkai at BDG is a “miniature” Zen Sesshin. We bring the attention of zazen to all our activities: Sitting meditation, walking meditation, cooking meditation, eating meditation, cleaning meditation, drumming meditation, chanting meditation.
Once a year, our teacher, Rev. Dai-En Bennage, joins us for Zazenkai in Baltimore, giving us an opportunity to deepen our practice. We have very limited seating, so please let us know well in advance if you would like to attend.
