Each Wave An Ocean: Opening the Gates Practice

This one-day morning retreat uses The Eight Gates of Zen as a framework for exploring core practice. The Gates are a traditional map of Zen training — zazen, the relationship between student and teacher, art, body practice, and the Precepts among them — and this retreat moves through them via sitting, teaching, and direct experience rather than lecture alone.

Hojin and Daiō co-teach, though the center has not yet published details about their lineage, teaching style, or how the session will unfold. Contact Zen Center of New York City (Fire Lotus Temple) for specifics on the schedule, what time the retreat begins and ends, and whether any sitting experience is expected.
