Cosmopolitan Zen Basics

Curious about Zen, meditation, or Shining Bright Lotus Meditation Society? Cosmopolitan Zen Basics offers simple, down-to-earth introductions to a variety of themes commonly used in our practice.

Led by senior clergy at Shining Bright Lotus, each session offers a brief survey of basic topics of Zen meditation and Mondo Zen koan work. All sessions are open to newcomers, though all are welcome. No prior experience is needed.

Currently we are offering four different sessions. These sessions will be offered four times a year.

Our sessions include:

Meditation Basics - an introduction to meditation
Zen Basics - an introduction to the theory and practice of Zen
Mondo Zen Facilitation Basics - an introduction to Mondo Zen Koans
Emotional Koan Basics - an introduction to emotional koan practice
Precepts Basics - and introduction to the ethical commitments of Buddhist practice
Cosmopolitan Zen Basics - an introduction to the inclusive view of SBLMS

Cosmopolitan Zen Basics is open to anyone.
