Zazen is the practice that cultivates our access to realms beyond our sensory illusions and attachments. During this introduction, we will experience an environment so that the basic principles and techniques of Zazen practice can be personally experienced and appreciated by each participant.<\/p>\n<p>This is a rare opportunity to experience an ancient Japanese tradition in a classic setting and only open to members of Japan U.S. Creatives.\u00a0 For tickets: <a href=\"http:\/\/zenintroduction.eventbrite.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">zenintroduction.eventbrite.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday, February 6, 2012 at 6:00 PM Zendo Shobo-ji 223 East 67th Street, New York, NY<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16450"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16450\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16453,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16450\/revisions\/16453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
