For centuries, Shodo (Japanese calligraphy) has been the chosen art form of many Zen masters to express their realization. Training in Shodo from a Zen point of view means that our kiai development must coincide with technical ability to project our spirit (ki) into a work of art. Therefore, Shodo can be a tool of spiritual refinement. In this webinar, Esteban Martinez Sensei will discuss the benefits of training in calligraphy and how it can benefit one's Zen training.
The webinar (7:30-8:30pm CST) will occur immediately after evening Daily Zazen (7-7:30 pm CST). After Daily Zazen, we will switch to a different Zoom link for the Webinar. To participate in the Webinar, please register below.
