THE ZEN GROUP OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Sesshin is a Japanese term meaning 'to settle the Mind, to touch the Mind, to convey the Mind'. The term is used in Zen Buddhism to describe intensive periods of zazen meditation and dokusan that take place over a period of days, traditionally seven. Sesshin encourages deepening of practice.
