ANGO means “living together in happiness” in Japanese. During a month, we will continue the tradition that started with Shakyamuni Buddha, who gathered his disciples together during the rainy season in order to live and practice together. The Ango will be lead by master Bárbara Kosen, who practices the Ango tradition for over 40 years.
The Ango, also called “Summer Camp” will take place in 5 seven-day sessions during the months of July and August. The number of participants will be reduced to respect the security measures by Covid. It is necessary to register in advance.
One session consists of:
- 3 days of preparation, with three zazen sessions per day, teachings in the Dojo by Bárbara Kosen, lectures about the spirit of zen practice, mondo: questions and answers, samu practice: the attention with which actions are carried out, physical activity in relation to the daily life in the temple.
- 3 days and 1/2 of Sesshin: intensive practice, with 4 zazen per day.
