The following is a 20 minute video presentation on beginning zazen practice by the Venerable Shodo Harada Roshi, the highly respected teacher at Sogen-ji in Okayama, Japan. Due to the time limitations of the video the Roshi is not able to discuss all of the possible sitting postures, breathing approaches, and practices used in the Zen school of Buddhism. Instead he focuses on a few important ones which are often used by practitioners to good effect. 

The presentation is in Japanese, with English as well as other language subtitles available via the 'settings' icon in the lower right of the video's page. 


Announcements: Some Thursday evening sittings are co-led by members of the Baltimore Dharma Group.
