Master Sheng-Yen (1931-2009) was a Chinese Buddhist master who established the Dharma Drum Monasteries. His teaching are relevant today, as they inform us of the necessity to practice Zen Mind at all time, in all circumstances. He said, “Ch’an (Zen) is practice, action, existence, and none of these things. It cannot be described.” We will explore obstacles and problems that we encounter in our spiritual practice on a daily basis, and methods to deal with these.

During these difficult times The Monks of Pine Wind share in the understanding that available funds may be lessor than usual. We want no one to not have the opportunity to fully participate because of finaces. That is why we strive to keep event Donation fees as low as possible. (100% of your donation goes to meeting the Monastery's expenses only. No individual monk receives compensation for his or her services. All services are provided by volunteers including Seijaku Roshi.)
