The Memorial Ceremony on Sunday 9th November honours friends and family who we have lost. The ceremony proper begins at 10 am and finishes at noon, with a potluck lunch.

This year we’ll particularly be honouring the memory of Jean Brick, longtime member of our sangha, who died on October 2 after a long illness. Jean loved the Buddha Way and the Sydney Zen Centre practice community.  On this occasion we will have the opportunity to express our gratitude for her life, her friendship and her many contributions to our sangha.

The ceremony begins with a brief period of zazen, followed by sutras and incense offerings, and then a sharing circle. Come with stories, poems, songs, photos (which we’ll place on the altar) or other objects of significance. All are welcome.

We’ll also share food, with a potluck lunch (hopefully outdoors) after we finish in the dojo. If you plan to stay on, please bring a plate of food.
