OUR TEACHER

Barry Farrin Roshi

ALL NEW STUDENTS should arrange an introductory meeting, enabling them to make an informed decision about Zen and understand its relevance in the 21st century, before attending their first meditation sitting.

HOW CAN FOREST WAY ZEN HELP YOU?

Forest Way Zen places emphasis on the ordinary moments of our life and encourages the members to take responsibility for their actions. Students are shown how to examine the relevance of Zen in the 21st century. The aim is to support students to find their own spiritual liberation leading to awakening.

If you’d like to know how to live life with greater purpose, less suffering, and more joy, please contact Forest Way Zen.

Upcoming Retreats - ZAZENKAI AND SESSHIN

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM KU SANLast year we have held several short retreats and a 5 day Sesshin in May.If you have tried Zen for some years and feel ready to adventure into attending longer retreats, this will be possible this year and you will have time to organize your time off work and personal commitments.The shorter retreats are for people who are still feeling their way into Zen. These Zazenkai or short retreats help us to develop our deep Zen practice. They help us develop the skills and confidence to attend some longer Zen training.I hope to see you sitting in Zen on some of these days.Warm Regards to all Zen studentsRoshi Ku San Barry
