15-September-2024

The last Zen Practice Class of 2024 concluded with a one-day meditation session on September 15.

Due to the overwhelming number of applicants for the previous Zen Practice Class, our monastery added an additional class to accommodate more individuals interested in Zen Buddhism.  Unlike previous classes, this one was held at the Hae Su Zen Centre, featuring two full days of sessions and one day of meditation practice.

On the day of the event, students first arrived at Gak Su Temple.  Led by Zen Master Dae Kwan and Bon Sun Sunim JDPS, they practiced walking meditation to the Hae Su Zen Centre enjoying the natural surroundings and relaxing their minds and bodies.  

Upon arrival, they reviewed rituals, chanting, sitting meditation and walking meditation practices, also learned the etiquette of the Zen hall.

The highlight of the day was receiving graduation certificates from the Sifu and joyfully taking a group photo.  

We look forward to practicing together with the newly graduated students during the upcoming Winter Kyol Che!
