Join us in exploring the art of Zen meditation with Hoai Tran.
Viet-Zen Meditation
Meditation plays an important role in the philosophy of holistic medicine and it has been practiced for hundreds of years by the Vietnamese Zen monks at the monasteries to keep their body and mind whole.
Mind-Body Zen Meditation is rooted in the philosophy of the Vietnamese Zen tradition which emphasizes the importance and necessity of relaxing and calming both Body and Mind to achieve a balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. This will enhance the flow of energy in the body which promotes both mental and physical health.
Designed for those new to Zen practice, this meditation tutorial introduces the important aspects of Vietnamese Zen tradition and training. One will experience zazen (sitting meditation), postures, body structures and other areas of training such as deep breathing, while also having the opportunity to ask questions about Vietnamese Zen practice.
