Instruction

There is no Teacher in full-time residence at Harrow Zazenkai. There are two formal students (students who study directly with Ven. Anzan Hoshin roshi) who are residents of Harrow who serve as directors of the Zazenkai: Frank Tettsu Woods and Paul Kumyo Shelvey.

  As there is no Teacher in residence, beginning students receive instruction from Dharma Teachers and practice advisors in residence at Dainen-ji, the monastery located in Ottawa , Canada. A Dharma Teacher also visits the Zazenkai periodically to meet with students. Please see the “Long Distance Training” page of this Website for further information about the training provided.

  

Attending Sittings

A beginning student may participate in the sitting schedule at the Zazenkai providing they have made contact with the monastery in Ottawa and are receiving instruction. If you send an email to the monastery, please mention that you have read this page and the information on the Long Distance Training Program.

  The formal students who direct the Zazenkai may give you instruction in the posture and the forms of practice (how to sit, stand, and walk), but they cannot discuss your practice with you as they are not trained as practice advisors or Dharma Teachers and do not have authorization to give instruction. This is why it is necessary to establish contact with the monastery before attending a sitting.
