One Day Chan Meditation Retreat


Date: Saturday, August 14, 2010 8月14日
Time: 9:30am to 4:30pm
Location: DDMBA Ontario, 154 Poyntz Avenue, Toronto M2N 1J4

This form of practice is very beneficial for everyone; it gives us the chance to practice with a group over a longer period of time. However, some familiarity with meditation methods might be helpful.

Sitting meditation periods are followed by walking meditation, gentle stretching exercises and mindful work periods. The environment of the retreat is designed to promote mindfulness in everything we do. To fully benefit from this form of group practice, it is the best to attend the entire event.

To receive the full benefits of this form of group practice, we encourage you attend the entire event. Also, be sure to wear loose, warm and comfortable clothing. DDM provides cushions, sitting mats, and towels.

In the spirit of sharing with the community of Chan practitioners, participants of this retreat are also encouraged to contribute a vegetarian dish or snack for the retreat lunch. If you would like to submit a dish, please send an email to meditation@ddmba-ontario.ca, no later than Thursday August 12.

The event is offered free of charge, while any donations to support events like this are greatly appreciated.
