* WHAT is a SESSHIN?
Sesshin means to touch the spirit, become intimate with oneself, concentrating in zazen on the unified body and mind.
Neither philosophy, nor ethics, nor religion, Zen allows us to reach the origin of every philosophy, ethics or religion. Spring of awakening, Zen transforms our life here and now.
Sesshin is a period where we essentially concentrate on zazen, but also concentrate on daily chores such as cooking or dish washing, (traditionally called samu).
