Orientation Workshop
Orientation workshops are conducted periodically to teach seekers how to do zazen. Over a period of eight weeks, students are taught the proper posture and breathing in doing zazen. Participants note a certain calmness resulting from attending even a few sessions.
During orientation, participants are informed that sitting alone is not true zen practice. True zen practice requires having a teacher. Thus, those completing orientation are encouraged to have "shoken" or interview with a teacher before being formally accepted into the community as a member.
The next zen orientation will be held at the Marikina zendo on October 16, 2004. The orientation workshop is essentially a training session. Attending the Glimpse into Zen seminar is advised prior to undergoing training in the orientation workshop.
