Kosen Sangha's summer camp : from July 14 until August 22 2019

You receive Kosen Sangha news ?! Don't miss the great opportunity to experiment a summer camp and deepen zazen practice : during a session of 8/10 days, or for the whole camp, get rid of your daily hassle and let your time be carried out at the peaceful rythm of the temple : zazen, teaching in the dojo, samu, and friendlyness moments. Here is a  little preview of previous summer camps in Yujo Nyusanji zen temple.

Summary : ordinations, full timers, families, accomodation, prices...

Yujo Nyusanji zen temple

Yujo Nyusanji Zen Temple  was founded by Master Kosen, heir of Master Mokudo Taisen Deshimaru's Dharma. Master Kosen, his disciples, and members of Zen Deshimaru Buddhist nonprofit organization retire to the temple to practice sesshins, samu, and daily gyoji. . . and also to recharge their batteries, take a deep breath of mountain air, spot wild mouflons, learn archery, and dive in the peaceful atmosphere of forests and rivers.

Accomodation

Accomodation is provided in dormitory rooms, full board. You can also pitch a tent in the natural surroundings of the temple,  by the river, under the pines, in the fields under the stars... There are also a few rooms, especially to accomodate families.

Families

Some families come back each year to the summer camp, where the children find their friends. Chidren are cared during zazen practice : childcare is organized by the parents in rotation.

Ordination

Ordination of nuns, monks, and boddhisattvas will be given by Master Kosen at the end of the third session.

Full Timers

“Full-timers” are participants who stay for the entire Summer Camp and are involved in it’s organisation and working. They must arrive one day before the start of the camp to assume their responsibility and should leave the temple at the end of the camp when everything has been finished. A full-timer pays a reduced tariff, (see details of pricing below).

To be able to be part of the full-timers team, send an e-mail to permanent@zen-deshimaru.com. This request should be made one month before the start of the camp.

How much costs summer camp ?

"Teaching is free and we pay it with our samu. Infrastructure, premises, temple maintenance, credit and taxes, this is what we pay in a sesshin price."
