There was no Zen Meetup Group in Orlando, so now there is! We will meet somewhere and practice zazen. Zazen is the mainstay of Zen practice - sitting zen. Also kinhin, which is when you walk around! :o) Afterward, sometimes we will go somewhere funny (like nature trails, to a pub, a restaurant, dancing, downtown, do-it-yourself workshop, etc.). Zazen is very simple to learn. All beings are flowers, blooming in a blooming universe. -Soen Nakagawa-
