Practicing the Diamond Sutra
A Day-long Online Retreat
Aug 9, 2026
11:00 am - 3:30 pm US Eastern Time
Online, via Zoom
The Diamond Sutra is a key Mahayana/ Zen/ Chan practice guide to full awakening. In this daylong we will penetrate and impart the practices and perspectives that are embedded and revealed in the Diamond Sutra.
Students may want to purchase Three Zen Sutras by Red Pine, though this isn’t required for the course.
This daylong will include Dharma talks, guided meditations, 15-minute breaks, and ample time for questions or comments among the group.
Suitable for beginning meditators, as well as those in the intermediate and advanced groups.
This event will be recorded. If you are unable to attend live, signing up will give you access to the recording afterwards.
“Each daylong offers a focused immersion into a different facet of practice. The teachings are clear and the meditations run deep. Every daylong is thoughtfully crafted, opening new insights and helping me deepen my practice.”
— Mark Shope, Associate Professor at the NYCU School of Law
