Xmas closing 2022

Just a quick note to say that we'll only be closed for the week between Xmas and New Year this year (so no Zen on Weds 28 December). We're meeting this week as usual, and again on Weds 4 January.

Note that from Weds 11 January we're running our introductory course on Wednesday evenings (goes for four weeks), so there'll be less sitting and more teaching for those weeks.

Merry, merry!

Happy Rohatsu!

All the best for the coming year - on Rohatsu, or Bodhi Day, we celebrate the Buddha's enlightenment, and we aspire to emulate his determination in sitting under the Bodhi tree until he came to his realisation. May you and your friends and families have a year touched by wisdom and compassion!
