Zen meditation is practiced for
spiritual as well as physical well-being. Zazen
encourages energy to flow throughout the body,
and creates an opportunity to see your true self
and fully experience each moment. Learn basics
of posture, breathing and awareness to bring
forth the Zen experience of awakening.
Zen training will be
led by Meido Moore Roshi. Moore Roshi began
Buddhist practice in 1988, training in India and Nepal.
In 1990 he began six years' residence as apprentice (uchideshi)
to the lay Zen and martial art master Tenzan Toyoda
Rokoji, also at that time becoming a student of Dogen
Hosokawa Roshi, a dharma successor of Omori Sogen Roshi
and then abbot of Daihonzan Chozenji in Honolulu,
Hawaii. He was ordained in 2003. He later continued to
train under one of Hosokawa Roshi's dharma heirs, So'zan
Miller Roshi of Daiyuzenji. He received inka shomei
(recognition as a Dharma successor of Rinzai Zen) in
2008.
