Samu Weekend at Dai Bosatsu Zendo
October 9-11
Dai Bosatsu Zendo would like to invite you to join us for a weekend of mindful work practice. As much as the weather allows, Samu weekends are devoted to outdoor work. Typical outdoor work assignments include splitting firewood, weeding, raking, and landscaping. Of course, some participants may also be asked to join indoor work such as cooking, cleaning, painting, sewing, etc. Quiet, contemplative work practice is emphasized.
Samu Weekends can be a good way for first-timers to get an introduction to Dai Bosatsu Zendo, but you must arrive by 5PM on Friday to participate in an orientation for new students.
Although there is no set program fee for the weekend, we suggest that you make a modest monetary contribution in the amount of your choice. To make a reservation, or for more information, please call Dai Bosatsu Zendo at (845) 439-4566 or e-mail office@daibosatsu.org. If you have any special talents or skills, please let us know!
