What IS zen?
From our friend Tina:
There will be a Glimpse into Zen seminar from 3:00 to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 21, at the Full Circle zen meditation center in the Good Shepherd Convent compound in Quezon City, near the corner of Aurora Boulevard and Katipunan Avenue.
Glimpse is an introduction for those who wish to know more about the practice of zen. It includes question-and-answer sessions, a demonstration of the different meditation postures, and a short meditation period under the guidance of an accredited zen teacher of the Sanbo Kyodan. For those participants who decide that they would like to pursue the practice further, this introduction is a prerequisite for the six-session orientation workshop which will later be held weekly. Glimpse Into Zen is free of charge.
Participants are requested to bring their own drinking water, and to wear loose, comfortable clothes suitable for sitting on floor cushions. Chairs are available for those with physical limitations. Please refrain from wearing shorts, or any clothing with bold prints or colors.
The green entrance gate of the Good Shepherd compound at 1043 Aurora Boulevard is between the LRT-Katipunan underground station and the multi-story Aurora Milestone. Glimpse Into Zen will be held on the second floor of the building just inside the Good Shepherd gate. There is a secure parking lot located further within the grounds.
For more information or to register for the seminar, leave your name and number in Comments (it won’t be published) and we’ll forward the information to the organizers.

r98b: Those coming from Pasig/ Ortigas/ Makati can take C-5 or the White Plains road to Katipunan Avenue, crossing Aurora Boulevard on the overpass; they then take the nearest U-turn slot along Katipunan (in the vicinity of Ateneo), and then turn right into Aurora. The green gate is about 40 meters past St. Bridget’s School and right after the LRT-Katipunan station entrance.
