“Returning to the Source” Sesshin
with Mushin Sensei
Thursday May 4 – Sunday May 7, 2023
Pauenhof, Germany
This Sesshin will be held at ‘Pauenhof’, where last year’s summer retreat with Genpo Roshi and the transmission ceremony for Mushin Sensei took place. It is an auspicious Buddhist retreat place with buildings that go back to the 15th century, located in the open countryside of the Lower Rhine region, bordering on Holland and close to Belgium.
“I very much look forward to going back to Pauenhof to hold sesshin for the first time, to connect with each other and to meet new and familiar faces. My hope is for us to have a focused and dedicated practice together with deep silent sitting as well as a joyful and relaxed time.
"Sesshin is an excellent container to let go of the self, to surrender to not knowing and open up to what arises – in sitting but also while chanting, bowing, working and eating together, resting or sleeping. ‘Surrender to the Source’ is an invitation for us to connect deeply, to bring forth that which is already there, to awaken to and trust our own beingness – gate gate paragate parasamgate.”
