SUMMARY:January 2027 Intensive: Training in Compassion\, Zen Teachings on the Practice of Lojong\, GGF 1/6-1/27
DESCRIPTION:Training in Compassion: Zen Teachings on the Practice of Lojong\n  \nThis three-week retreat offers an opportunity for experienced meditators to join Green Gulch staff in a period of intensive residential practice. Our schedule includes zazen in the early morning\, mid-morning\, afternoon\, and evening; formal oryoki meals; work periods; Dharma talks; and classes. Formal and informal meetings with teachers will also be offered. \nParticipants commit to not leave the Green Gulch watershed for the duration (except by arrangement or emergencies). The Intensive concludes with a five-day sesshin. If you are interested in the classes and Dharma talks only\, there is an online version of the intensive. \nThe theme for study and practice in this intensive is Training in Compassion: Zen Teachings on the Practice of Lojong. Lojong is the Tibetan Buddhist practice that involves working with short phrases (called “slogans”) as a way of generating bodhichitta\, the heart and mind of enlightened compassion. \nStudents accepted into the intensive generally will have already participated in at least one all-day sit\, sesshin\, and/or a guest student stay at Green Gulch. If you do not have prior experience with Zen practice\, we strongly suggest completing a one-day sit or sesshin at Green Gulch before applying for the intensive. \nReview the Sample Schedule/Shingi before submitting your application. Contact the Abbot’s assistant at ggfabbotassist@sfzc.org with questions\, if you aren’t sure if applying is right for you based on your practice experience\, or if or if you require early acceptance notification for travel.\nSubmit your application by November 17\, 2026.
