MEASURES TO RESTRICT THE SPREAD OF COVID 19

The Annandale zendo will be opened for orientations from Tuesday July 28th.  You can join our regular online or face to face meditation sessions after orientation on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Details about who to contact to register are below. To restrict the spread of Covid 19 these are the Conditions of Entry to the zendo. Wearing a mask is required.

There is a $20 fee which can be paid directly to our bank account: BSB 062 182 Account number: 1013 7103. Please tag with your name, and the word “Orientation”.

The Board wishes you all a safe time ahead. And in this time of uncertainty we recommend you maintain your practice and remember to breathe and stay connected.

*********

All are welcome to participate in orientations to Zen Buddhist practice. Come along on Tuesdays from 7pm to 8.30pm once a month to 251 Young Street, Annandale (see schedule below). Our orientations are a very relaxed way to start your Zen journey. There will be instructions about sitting and walking meditation, as well as some information about Zen philosophy and rituals. Please wear loose dark, preferably black, clothing. It is better not to wear tight fitting jeans or belts to ensure circulation of blood in your legs. When sitting with the group avoid wearing revealing or patterned clothing, perfume and noticeable jewellery, so there are no distractions from your meditation practice.

Orientations take place by appointment only, so if you wish to attend an orientation you will need to email the person whose name is down for your preferred night (below). Once you have booked please confirm by email a few days before the orientation.

We’re looking forward to meeting you …
