“Shinnyo Buddhism 101” is a day to introduce people new to Shinnyo-en to some of the basic concepts of our practice while we focus on key themes that we may all face from day to day. There will be a short talk by the guest speaker, Q&A session, a chance to experience guided meditation, and time for informal discussions.
On the services on Jan 24 and 28, there will be special opportunities for those new to Shinnyo-en to experience “sesshin,” one of the core trainings for practitioners. As you may have heard, there is a special campaign for newly connected members to receive “sesshin” on either Jan 24 or 28 if s/he attends just one day of the opening period of Winter Training at any of the host locations.
There will also be live testimonies given by members on these days.
For more information, please contact any of the staff.
