Practice and the Path of Liberation: Further Steps Along the Path of Zen
Zen
Three-day intermediate retreat at Zen Mountain Monastery exploring the Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path through zazen, teaching, and discussion. Participants examine reactive patterns and connect Buddhist mind training to daily life.
About this retreat
This three-day retreat centers on two foundational Buddhist teachings: the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. Rather than treating these as historical doctrine, the retreat uses them as a lens for examining your own patterns of reactivity and suffering—and how to work with them through zazen and sustained practice.
The format combines sitting meditation (zazen), formal teaching, and discussion. The center has not yet published the daily schedule, teacher name, or lodging details. Contact Zen Mountain Monastery directly for information about accommodations, meal arrangements, and what "in-person" includes for this retreat.
Schedules can change — confirm details on Zen Mountain Monastery's website.
