Bodhidharma Day

  • Auckland Zen Centre 52 Princes Street, Onehunga Auckland, 1061 New Zealand (map)

Each October we celebrate the death day of the founder of Zen, Bodhidharma. The sitting starts at the usual time and will include two rounds of zazen, followed by a special ceremony. Sent by his teacher Prajnatara, Bodhidharma made the long and dangerous journey from Southern India to China in the 5th Century C.E., where he sat facing a wall in meditation for nine years. He is regarded with great reverence and affection by Zen followers everywhere.
