Our May, 2008 newsletter is now available. It contains information on upcoming sesshin and summer ango practice periods.

Effective next Saturday, March 15, the weekly meditation at Myoshinji in Monroe, Wisconsin will be on Saturdays from 9:00-11:00 am, instead of Sunday mornings. The change was made to better accommodate the schedules of those who wish to participate. Each Saturday, there will be 2 periods of zazen and a short talk.

Please note that on Saturday, March 15, the Six Paramitas workshop will be taking place, from 9:00-5:00. You are more than welcome to attend, and the regular weekly schedule will resume the following weekend.

The two equinoxes are the times of the year when the sun rises exactly in the east and sets exactly in the west and all places on earth experience exactly 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night. In the Japanese Buddhist tradition, the week of the Autumnal Equinox is called Prajna week. This time is dedicated to the study of the Buddhist teaching of the Six Paramitas or Six Perfections. We will observe this tradition around the time of the Vernal Equinox by offering a weekend workshop on the Six Paramitas at Myoshinji, in Monroe, Wisconsin. The workshop begins at 7:30 PM on Friday and finishes on Sunday morning. The workshop consists of zazen (meditation), talks and guided meditations, with vegetarian meals provided. Those who are unable to stay for the entire weekend are invited to attend on Saturday only.
