Month long retreat & Heart Kyol Che....
October is our most intense practice period of the year. Participation is possible in segments of one week minimum - Saturday to Saturday. Whether one week, two weeks, three weeks, or the entire month - this format is not suited if you don't have a well established Zen meditation practice! Like in 2023 the whole Sangha is invited to participate in Heart-Kyol Che during the whole month of October. |
Heart Kyol Che:
The resident community will do intensive practice during the month of October. We invite our sangha to intensify home practice by committing to "Heart Kyol Che" during October - with sangha members from all around the world doing additional daily practice while other sangha members practice in person at FMZC.
"Kyol Che" in Korean means "tight dharma" or "coming together" and was traditionally held for 90 days. As this isn't possible for most of us "Heart Kyol Che" is a wonderful opportunity to still support those who do the in-person retreat and be supported by them as well. It's a way for all of us to practice together as a global sangha, for the benefit of all beings.
To express your commitment, please fill out our Heart Kyol Che Participation form and send it back via email.
