The Adelaide Zen Group is holding a zen intensive. The primary focus of the zen intensive is zazen, the Zen form of meditation. The zen intensive takes a non-residential retreat form. It is designed to settle participants and lead them to awakening.
A vegetarian meal will be provided at supper time. Participants are asked to provide their own lunches. Tea and coffee will be available during the day.
Bob Joyner, is the resident teacher of the Adelaide Zen Group. He received full Dharma Transmission in the Diamond Sangha lineage in July 2003. There will be opportunities for dokusan (private interviews with the teacher) on both days of the intensive.
Further information : may be obtained from Rod Owen, phone: 83396578 email owenshan@bigpond.com
Participants may wish to attend only one day, but full time attendance is preferred. The cost of the full zen intensive is $75. Part-time fee for Saturday with evening sitting and a meal is $45. Part-time fee for Sunday is $35.
Please wear comfortable clothing preferably in a dark or unpatterned fabric.
Lunch is not provided. On the subject of lunch, there are shops near the venue where lunch may be purchased but you will probably find that it will be easier to maintain your practice during the lunch break if you have brought your lunch with you or have purchased it before the intensive starts. You may like to bring your own water bottle. There is a refrigerator and a microwave in the kitchen.
Henley Beach Road is well serviced by buses even on weekends. Catch a 130 to 139 bus from Grenfell or Currie Street to bus stop 5 and walk back to no 133A Henley Beach Road. Bus no 135 leaves Grenfell Street at 8 41 am on the weekends and arrives at bus stop 5 shortly before 9 am.
