ZEN DAY
led by DoTzong
Head Dharma Teacher, Zen Center Regensburg
The Zen Day at Zen Center Regensburg is a wonderful opportunity to have a simple introduction to the practice of Zen in a short retreat setting. Beginners to our Community can get to know our Zen Center forms and style with an experienced Zen practitioner who has completed five of the traditional 90-day retreats (“ango”) in the mountains of Korea. Although the Zen Day is a one-day program, it is optional to spend an overnight at our Zen Center for a first impression of Zen and / or a refresher of your practise.Â
Begin / End:Â Saturday, 8.00 am to Sunday, 8.30 am
In 2023, we offer the Zen Day once a month (in the months from June to October).

Zoom Hookup w/ Hyon Gak Sunim
Once a month, on the first Tuesday evening (@ 8:00pm Regensburg Time) of the month, Hyon Gak Sunim is in front of the camera for you. Bring your questions and challenges in practice. Bring a friend! It’s free, and no membership is required. (But you ARE welcome to send us a small donation for having access to him during this rare chance that an experienced long-term meditator like him sits there just WAITING to help with your practice.)
