The Yong Maeng Jong Jin (“To leap like a tiger while sitting”) retreat is being held at Bo Hyun Sa Temple in Southwest Ranches – a setting ideally suited for more intensive practice.
Please join us for all or part of this wonderful practice opportunity. Each day’s schedule consists of Zen practice (bowing, chanting, sitting, and walking), work and rest periods, and vegetarian meals eaten in traditional temple style. It also includes talks and kong-an teaching interviews with a zen teacher.
The retreat begins on Friday March 27th at 6:45 AM, and ends with a circle talk on Sunday, March 29th at 10:00 am, followed by a precepts ceremony.
Dennis Duermeier JDPSN began practice with the Kansas Zen Center in 1981. He was involved in buying and renovating the first residential Zen center in Kansas and later became its abbot. In 2000 he received inka from Zen Master Seung Sahn. In 2004, for personal reasons, he left the Kwan Um School of Zen, and eventually spent several years living in Australia. In 2018, he returned to the United States and to the School. In 2020, under the guidance of Zen Master Bon Hae, his authorization to teach was reaffirmed.
