Hoenji Spring Sesshin

Spring is a time of joyous renewal at Hoenji — the grass growing greener with each sitting, the birds returning and starting their families, the trees budding and leafing out right before our eyes. Each one of us, going deeper and deeper into our zazen, feels the rejuvenation and transformation that occur. Indeed, inside equals outside. We hope you can join us for Spring Sesshin at the Zen Center of Syracuse.

Led by Shinge Roshi, Spring Sesshin will be offered both in person and online, Thursday, April 25, 7 p.m. to Sunday, April 28, 5 p.m. See below to choose in-person or online attendance.
