About this Event
Discover the traditional Korean intensive meditation: Yong Maeng Jong Jin (YMJJ).

Yong Maeng Jong Jin means ‘to leap like a tiger while sitting’! This intensive form of meditation invites you to become fully awake and pay attention, just like a tiger. This retreat provides an introduction to Zen practice forms, including sitting & walking meditation, chanting, bowing, and Kong-an (Japanese: Koan) interviews. The retreat is led by a Dharma Master or Zen Master in the Kwan Um School of Zen, a global community of Zen practitioners.
