What: Yong Maeng Jong Jin
is
the Korean name
for a short intensive meditation retreat. The literal meaning of the
words is "to leap like a tiger
while sitting".
A YMJJ is an excellent opportunity to get a glimpse into
our true nature and to clear our mind of habitual thinking. It
also
generates energy for sustained practice in our daily lives.
The retreat
will include practice of chanting, prostrations walking and sitting
meditation. We will be observing silence throughout the retreat.
Participants will also take part in a one-on-one
Kong-An interview with the teacher each day.
Participation for only one instead of two days is also possible.
Below is a tentative schedule. This schedule is subject to change.
