Shakyō Workshop

Shakyo Garrison.jpg

Sutra copying, known as Shakyō in Japanese, is a traditional meditative practice of tracing the characters of a Buddhist text, most commonly the Heart Sutra. During this workshop we will share each other’s virtual presence as we give our contemplative attention to the movement of brush and pen. In addition to tracing the Heart Sutra we will have the opportunity to explore copying Zen poetry and other inspiring works.

I’ll be leading this workshop online as part of the Village Zendo’s Summer Ango.

Thursday-Friday, July 30, 31, 10 am – 1 pm
Suggested fee: $80 members/$120 non-members
