Dojo de Maître Kosen34, rue Bourrely34000 MontpellierFrance

www.zen-deshimaru.com

In Japan “Ango” is a tradition which has been going on since the time of Buddha. It was a period of practice which saw the whole Sangha coming together around the Buddha during the rainy season.

Our sessions include: A period of preparation lasting between 4 to 6 days followed by a sesshin (period of more intensive practice). Teachings in the dojo (kusen). Samu: taking part in the daily tasks of the temple (zen kitchen, garden, maintenance, sewing of the kesa). Various related activities: yoga, do-in, shiatsu...

Arrival should be on the evening before each session. A ses-sion ends on the last day after lunch. Samu: Samu is a japanese word which literally means “doing things”, as in “things to do”. Samu is work for the temple and the community, and forms an integral part of the practice.

“Full-timers”: “Full-timers” are participants who stay for the entire Summer Camp and are involved in it’s organisation and working. They must arrive one day before the start of the camp to assume their responsibility and should leave the temple at the end of the camp when everything has been finished. A full-timer pays a reduced tariff, (see details of pricing below).

To be able to be part of the full-timers team, send an e-mail to; permanent@zen-deshimaru.com or send a letter to; Dojo Zen 34, rue Bourrely 34000 Montpellier. This request should be made one month before the start of the camp.

Ordenations: Master Kosen gives ordenations for Bodhisattva and monk at the end of the third session. Taking part in the ordenations costs €160 for monks and nuns and €100 for bodhisattvas.

Zen is zazen

Master Kosen is the 83rd patriarch of zen buddhism and the succesor of Master Taisen Deshimaru. In the dojo he gives his teaching, called kusen, and at certain times an-swers questions from the group. This is called a mondo.

Sesshin is a japanese word meaning “touching the spirit”. It refers to a period of spiritual retreat during which the partici-pants live according to the rythm of the intensive practice of the zen temples. This period generally involves four zazens per day, meals and traditional ceremonies and participation in the samu (dailywork). Sesshins see monks and nuns of the sangha come together to deepen their practice under the direction of a teacher. It also permits beginners, who are always welcome, to experience the authentic life of the tem-ples. In this way, sesshins represent the perfect framework to discover, deepen and make actual the practice of zen.

The route to the village of Douch, 34610 Rosis - 34 FRANCE

Using public transport: The closest town to the temple which is accesible by public transport is Lamalou-les-Bains. Busses for Lamalou-les-Bains leave from Béziers (line 215 – Monday to Saturday leaving at 11:15 and 17:15) and from Montpellier (líne 303 Monday to Saturday: 07:45, 12:40, 16:45; and every day at 10:15, 18:30) leaving from “Mosson” station, tram líne 1 or 3) . Line 485 every day at15:45. It is also possible to go by train to Bedarieux from Béziers.

We ask people coming by public transport, to come to Lama-lou-les-Bains, and to inform us at the time they register. We can arrange for a pick up in front of the Casino in Lamalou-les-Bains on the day of arrival of the sesshins or sessions.

Coming by car: If you have free places in your car, please advise us when you register, giving your telephone number.Others could benefit from the possibility and could share costs.

The temple is situated in the mountains of Caroux. One gets there from the D908 which follows the Orb Valley and joins St. Pons with Bedarieux. There are various possible ways after that. We usually say that the safest way to get here (in case of snow) is the road from Hérépian to Rosis. A quicker route is to take the road from Pujol sur Orb directly to Rosis. After “Le Cabaret” and a little bridge, you will see a sign indicating “Templo Zen de Carroux”. Consult Google maps or your GPS for other alternatives.

From Barcelona: By train: There are daily AVE trains which stop at Beziers.By car: Take the motorway to Béziers (exit 36). Follow the signs for Bédarieux, and then Lamalou-les-bains.

Parking: Cars may not remain stationed in the entrance to the tem-ple. After unloading your luggage you must park the car in the car park situated close by on the road to Douch on the left.

(Leave the castle and climb the mountain). The temple is situated in the regional park of the High Languedoc, at an altitude of 800 mtr. in the middle of pure nature. Sur-rounded by woods and rivers, the Yujo Nyusnji is an ideal place for the practice of zazen.
