Training programs at the Rochester Zen Center offer an opportunity to
immerse oneself in the disciplined atmosphere of Zen training, free of
the demands of family, job, and other normal responsibilities. Most participants
are housed at the Center's city complex, but are sometimes moved out to
its country retreat center, Chapin
Mill, for a while. Under the guidance of Roshi Kjolhede and his senior
students, trainees participate in all the aspects of traditional Zen training,
including: |
|
| The aim of these programs is to enable people from every walk of life to strengthen their Zen practice, deepen their insight, and develop a zazen "temper of mind" - that is, the ability to "sit" with every problem - that will carry through their daily lives after the program, endowing them with greater energy, clarity, and responsiveness. |

Who May Apply Training programs are open to adults who are of sound mind and good physical health. We will do our best to accommodate those with disabilities. Because of the fairly strict sitting regimen of the program, it is beneficial for applicants to have established a regular sitting schedule of their own before applying. Previous attendance at an introductory workshop conducted by Roshi Kjolhede is generally required. The main criterion for acceptance is sincerity, although personal skills may also be considered.
