Zazenkai is a good opportunity to boost your training and also helps with preparing for participation in keishin. To prepare, students should have received basic instruction on how to sit zazen and have been sitting online or on their own for at least a month. Students should be able to sit for 45 minutes at a time without moving and understand the basic principles of hara breathing.
