Zen group of WA now on the map

If you're visiting this blog for a second time, you'll now notice that the layout is a little different. This change was achieved simply by using a different template.

I've also included a map, and a calendar. If you're a member of the ZGWA and wish to become a contributor please speak with a councilor and ask them for permission. The more that get to work on this blog/website the more people will get to hear about Zen in WA.

How to practice Zazen

If we have our own induction video we could load that up as a blog post. You'll notice that there's a label that people can click and that will bring up this post.

Jeff Shore on Zen practice - all into one



There are lots of other videos about Zen on YouTube. I suggest we create our own account and a Zen channel on YouTube. Anyone with a teenager will be able to do it if they experience difficulty.

Alternately, just do it and experience the uncertainty directly;-)

Here's another way we can create a blog post

Let's say we've just had a scintilating teisho from Ross or Ian we could load the video up, just like the one below. Or we might come across something from somewhere else in the world that relates to Zen and we could embed that video in just the same way as has been done here. Blogs and videos go hand in hand.

Welcome to the Zen Group of WA

Welcome to the Zen Group of WA.

On this blog we intend to post what's happening within the group and provide some occassional insights into the silent practice of Zen meditation.

Let us know how we can be helpful.
