Sitting in silence, upright, being fully aware of our breath, this is the practice of Zazen, sitting meditation. „It is just this – there is nothing extra, just this total dynamic working“ as my first teacher, Katagiri roshi, used to emphasize.

As we continue to practice in this way, we may notice subtle changes. Zazen itself becomes our teacher. It functions as a hone, sharpenig our awareness, our perception of what is going on at just this moment, with no need to change anything. Eventually, the practice of sitting in silence becomes our true home, a place we can return to.

We will practice together every morning, before breakfast
