Trainer: Peter Bursky Category: ,

This retreat at our bush zendo, Kodoji is led by Peter Bursky, roshi from Friday 9th to Sunday 11th July.

Set in the Upper McDonald Valley, Kodoji is absolutely beautiful in Wintertime. Blue skies, warm fires and the song of birds fill our hearts. Come along to experience the crispness of your practice.

The theme is ZAZEN, and the format will reflect a focus towards the silent winter cold of Kodoji’s deep valley mist. There will also be plenty of opportunities for dokusan.

Members $ per night, Non-members $ per night.

Peter Bursky began serious meditation practice in 2007. His initial dive into the Insight and Tibetan traditions was followed with the intention to become a Buddhist monk, and he soon found himself wandering from monastery to monastery throughout Vietnam, Thailand and India. Upon discovering Dogen 'Mountains and Waters Sutra' and Robert Aitken's 'Taking the Path of Zen' in a far away library in India, he soon found himself back in Australia looking up the Sydney Zen Centre, a place that finally felt like home. Beginning koan practice in 2010 with Subhana Barzaghi Rōshi, he has since studied primarily with Subhana Barzaghi Rōshi and Allan Marett Rōshi. He was invited to become an apprentice teacher in 2019. He is also a musician, has a degree in music, runs a record label and is a student in the Ueda Sōko-ryū tradition of Chanoyu (Japanese Tea Ceremony). He lives amongst the mountains and rivers of the Hawkesbury river with his wife, two boys, two dogs and four lazy chickens.
