The Lecture Canceled Due to Coronavirus
April. 4 Sat. – 5 Sun.2020
Meditation Retreat 2 days in Chiba
Message from Barry Kerzin
Ethical living is intimately tied with ecological living with simplicity.
In this 2-day retreat we will explore how we can live more simply, caring for the environment, and caring ethically for ourselves. Living this way is less tied to material things. It is more tied to the mother earth and ethical values of love, caring, and kindness that we all have hidden inside us.Meditation is done with the mind. We will explore what is the mind. We will also explore what is meditation, focusing on shamatha (concentration) meditation, walking meditation, tonglen compassion meditation, and breathing meditation called 9-round breathing. In these ways we will train in reducing our negative emotions like anger, etc.
Please join us and become part of our evolving ethical ecological movement bringing happiness to ourself, others, and mother earth.
