1 pm - 4:30 pm Buddha Hall at 300 Page Street with Issho Fujita Breath from the nose is stealthily spreading all over the body. This short sentence is the only description of the breath during zazen by Dogen Zenji in Fukanzazengi (Universal Promotion of the Principles of Zazen). How can we embody it through zazen practice? It would be a mistake to take a “how-to” approach to realize this kind of breath. It is not a matter of adding anything special to the breath, of mastering a new breathing technique, or of trying to improve the breath. It is to discover the naturalness of our breath. In this workshop, through lecture and various exercises, we will explore the world of breath in zazen and understand the depth of zazen from the viewpoint of the breath. Fees: $40; $36 current SFZC members; $32 limited income. Cookies and tea are included. Some scholarships are available; see About Registration, Scholarships, and Cancellations.
