December online practice with European teachers

Dear friends in the Dharma,

The month of December is the month of love and compassion. It is a really special time for us to come together — especially now when the Corona Virus is affecting everyone's health and lockdowns are making it impossible to come together face to face as it is traditionally done. The teachers of the Kwan Um School of Zen Europe invite all practitioners, not only in the European Sangha but also from around the world, to join a special online Zoom Zen Practice on the following Saturday mornings:

Dec. 5th with Opening speech: ZM Bon Shim with Dharma talk: ZM Hyon Ja
Dec. 12th with Dharma talk: ZM Ji Kwang
Dec. 19th with Dharma talk: ZM Gu Ja with Closing speech: ZM Bon Shim

Our schedule for each of these Saturday mornings in CET time:

8:00 Start
8:05 108 Bows
8:30 Dedicated chanting Kwan Seum Bosal
8:55 2 x 30 minutes Zen meditation (with 5 minutes break in between)
10:00 Dharma talk
10:20 Open space for questions and answers.
11:00 Four Great Vows and End.

Let's practice together and bring the light of our clear minds into the lives, of all around us! In the Dharma with much love,
Bon Shim I Ji Kwang I Gu Ja I Hyon Ja I Bogumila JDPS I Arne JDPS I Koen JDPS I Yuval JDPS I Knud JDPS I Tolo JDPS
