Zen Meditation Classes

Every third Sunday of the month Ages 12 and Above NO CHARGE (Contribution accepted for WARWICK ZEN) The Chosun Taekwondo Academy is hosting monthly Zen Meditation classes at their location at 60 Galloway Road, Warwick, NY. If you are wondering what Zen Practice is, these ongoing classes are a practical introduction to the practice, history and philosophy of Zen Buddhism, from its origins in India 2,500 years ago, to its living practice in our modern world. We’ll cover the basics of meditation posture, how to handle thoughts during meditation, basic breathing practices, and spend some time sitting in Zazen (Zen meditation), as well as sharing some stories from the rich history of Zen, and a discussion of how this ancient practice is deeply relevant to our lives today. The classes will be led by Jacob Seiryo Gendelman, leader of WARWICK ZEN, an affiliate of Yokoji Zen Mountain Center. Jacob is a student of Charles Tenshin Fletcher, Roshi, Abbot of Yokoji, and has been a formal student of Zen for more than 30 years.
