Buddha’s Awakening Retreat

Arrival: Monday 1 December between 3pm and 6pm.
Departure: Sunday 7 December after lunch

Led by Taiun Jean-Pierre Faure

 

Silent retreat (In Japanese: sesshin, “to touch the mind”) in homage of Buddha’s Awakening.

 

Every year, in each temple, the nuns and monks commemorate Buddha’s Awakening, reliving his experience, sat in zazen. Buddha’s Awakening retreat unfolds in silence, facing oneself. The 30 min zazen follow one another and alternate with kin-hin. It ends with a great ceremony in honour of Buddha’s Awakening.
