THE THREE TREASURES ZEN CENTER OF ONEONTA

ZEN   Meditation   Retreat

With Zen Master Wu Kwang

of the Chogye International Zen Center of New York.

Guiding teacher of The Three Treasures Zen Center of Oneonta.

                                                    

 

There is a tried-and-true path that leads away from the dissatisfaction of conditioned existence and toward the end of craving and clinging.

 

 Zen employs several simple techniques of formal practice and meditation that help direct the student towards a central question : "What am I ?"  Although this question seems shapeless, Zen has developed, over many centuries, a  practical and clearly defined means of approaching it. Meditation, communal activity, and student-teacher dialogue are common to all Zen traditions. If there is an element of faith in Zen, it is faith that steadfast concentration on the question of self-nature will bring clarity and energy to everyday life. That ultimately, Zen practice will not focus on an isolated "I" but on the whole real world.
