Members area
What is the member area?
We are establishing this online presence to strengthen our joint practice and to enable constant contact for participants living further afield.
It will still take a while - we hope that the topping-out ceremony will be in summer 2024. Please be patient if not all technical features are working smoothly yet.
The face-to-face events are complemented by the Kanzeon Zen Center Düsseldorf-Online („ZZD-online“) and the members' area provide a rich stream of daily motivation, encouragement and understanding.
ZZD-Online and the member area offer these five tools for personal support and further development:
One
The Online Zendo
The Online Zendo is open to anyone who is interested - and we are happy to welcome anyone who would like to come to our zendo. We are currently open online at the regular zazen times on
Sunday from 18:00 to 19:30,
Tuesday from 05:30 to 06:30,
Wednesday from 19:30 to 21:00, and on
Friday from 05:30 to 06:30.
Due to Covid-19 hygiene restrictions, all face-to-face events have been moved to the Online Zendo until further notice. As soon as we can meditate again at Franklinstraße 39, we have planned that every event will be transferred from there to the Online Zendo.
Two
The forum
The forum has several sections: in one section of the forum, members can ask questions about the practice and process of Zen - and Sensei will do his best to answer them. This deepens the practice process and helps Sensei recognize where participants need support. People who ask questions are more likely to see positive changes.
Another section of the forum offers space for discussion and communication between members - and a third section contains news and announcements from the world of Kanzeon Sangha and White Plum Asangha international.
Three
Study literature
Structured study of selected literature on Buddhism and Zen in our online library. Jikishin Sensei is designing an interactive study center in the member area.
In the library you will also find video lectures with Jikishin Sensei that took place via Zoom.
Four
Live webinars
Participants of the Kanzeon Zen Center Online have access to monthly live webinars in which Jikishin Sensei talks about the current challenges and answers questions.
Each user has their own video conference room in the member area.
Five
Sangha Teams
Sangha teams within the online community encourage and help each other to mature in practice.
