Summer Session – at la Gendronniere Zen Temple – directed by Guy Mokuho – from 6th – 14th July, 2026

Arrival: Sunday 5 July at the end of the day

During this session, in addition to the practice of zazen, there will be teachings on the foundations of Buddhism (what samsara is and dependent co-arising; how the functioning of the “illusory self” perpetuates the world of suffering; how to bring it to an end for the benefit of all beings, etc.). Several mondos (question-and-answer sessions) will be offered.

Program for children aged 6 to 14

We will welcome children accompanied by at least one of their parents. A program of activities will be prepared by the people supervising the children’s group, who will call on parents for help if needed. We will speak to them about the Buddha’s Way, but it is above all through play, discovering nature, outings, and relationships with others that we will help them discover the human values of Buddhism.

More information will be forthcoming as the event approaches – in the mean time, you can check this page: https://www.zen-azi.org/en/session-ete-2026 on the AZI website
