SEICHU COMMITMENT
The following offers suggestions and space to record your Seichu commitment. (Copy and paste to print your own copy.) For questions or consultation, contact Gendo ([email protected]). Participants are invited to join a Seichu opening ceremony with opportunity to share your commitment with others (on Zoom or in person at the Zen Center).
1) Practice. For both new and experienced practitioners, there are ways to challenge yourself, make a commitment to a daily schedule of contemplation, either on your own or together with others, virtual or in person. UVZC offers a schedule of introductory sessions, daily practice and retreats that all are welcome to join (on Zoom and in-person.) Website at UVZC.org
2) Study. Participants are invited to join a weekly Study Group, Thursday nights, 7 to 8:30 pm. Sessions begin with a period of meditation, followed by study of Everyday Zen. Our invited teachers will offer their commentary, followed by group discussion.
3) Community. Participants serve community by commitment to learning the forms and taking leadership in our practice together; and/or by working together to make Zendo improvements (a Work Day, TBD); by joining Gendo in support of Dartmouth Zen Practice, Wheelock Terrace residents group and/or prison visits (Springfield, VT); or joining the project of your choice that gives back to the wider Upper Valley commuunity.
