Practice period

One month a year members of the Zen Center San Diego and Santa Rosa Zen Group participate in Practice Period. This is a period of practice intensification using techniques designed to engender a more awakened life.

At any point in our practice, we may find we’ve lost track of the broad view of the function of practice. Whether we’re in the rather blind honeymoon phase, or in a dry spot where our interest in waking up seems to have gone dormant, we always need to raise the questions, “What’s the point of practice? Is practice clear? Do I assume I know what practice is, when perhaps a deeper look might be in order?”
