TBC Welcomes the Cypress Tree Zen Group
Affiliated with the Kwan Um School of Zen, the Cypress Tree Zen Group has been practicing in Tallahassee for over 20 years. Anne Rudloe is the Abbot and Senior Dharma Teacher. Bill Bodiford and John Pekins are Dharma Teachers.
Beginning Feburary 10th, 2009, the group will meet every Tuesday evening at the TBC building. The first Tuesday of the month is informal sitting meditation. The cushions are arranged in a circle and there is no ritual or chanting. There are two 25 minute periods for sitting meditation and 10 minutes of free form walking meditation in between. The evening ends with a group discussion.
The remaining Tuesday practices follow the form of the Kwan Um School, which is based on the Korean Zen tradition. Members of the School who have taken precepts wear robes; there is ritual and group chanting as well as traditional forms for sitting and walking. There are two 25 minute periods for sitting meditation and 10 minutes of walking meditation in between. The evening ends with a Dharma Talk given by one of the Dharma Teachers or regular practitioners (not necessarily a member of the Kwan Um school).
Orientation sessions are available at each meeting for those new to sitting practice and meditation.
