The Path of Practice – Learning What to Put Down and Pick Up

On life’s journey of learning, you must learn what to put down
and what to pick up. Dissatisfaction and suffering arise when
you are attached to the things that you really should put down.
Regret and disappointment creep in when you shy away from
the responsibilities that you should pick up. Chan practice is
no different from life. What to put down and what to pick up?
Learning to answer this simple question will have a profound
impact on your wellbeing.

If you are interested in learning Chan (Zen) meditation, we warmly invite you to join us at this four hour beginners’ course.

This course will be led by Venerable Chang Wu (resident monastic and director at Dharma Drum Vancouver Center), who will introduce you to the practice of meditation in an approachable matter. You will be learning two preparatory exercices to meditation, the Vairocana Seven-Points of Sitting, the Eight-Form Moving Meditation and other essential meditation methods in order to regulate your body, mind and breath.

Through the teaching of relaxation, standing-up meditation, sitting meditation, movement meditation and meditation while eating, you will learn to relax your body and mind, clarify your scattered thoughts and obtain inner strength and peace. In using these same techniques in your daily life, it will become easier to confront people or difficult situations, to relieve stress from work and life, and to cultivate calmness and happiness in your life.

Venerable Chang Wu will have the time to look after each participant personally and answer to questions.
