Meditation Q & A from Summer 2017

Here is the final in my series of posts about meditation. The first post was about seated meditation or Zazen. The second post was about walking meditation or Kinhin. The third post was a recording of an actual meditation session so you could see how it was all put together. This final post is the question and answer session from that same class. I hope you got a lot out of these recordings. If you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact me.

Full Meditation Session from Summer 2017

This is a follow up post to this post giving seated meditation instruction and this post giving walking meditation instruction.

Here is a recording of a full meditation session if you want to get a feel for the seated meditation or Zazen and the walking meditation or Kinhin fit together in a session.

Please keep in mind that most of the recording is in essence silence. At the end we do something called the Three Refuge Bows.

I will follow this post next month with a brief question and answer session from this same class.

Walking Meditation Instruction from 2017

Here is the follow up to this post giving instruction for Zazen or seated meditation. This post is instruction for Kinhin or ‘walking meditation’ as done in the Soto Zen Buddhist Tradition.

These instructions follow a brief seated meditation session. The two strikes of the singing bowl you hear on the recording signal the end of a period of Zazen or ‘seated meditation’ and the start of walking meditation.

Next month I will try to post a recording of an entire meditation session so you can perhaps get a better idea of how these two complementary practices fit together.
