About the Retreat
Leadership
Jikishoan runs 7 day Retreats three times a year for Zen
students to engage in periods of concentrated Zen practice
and also for those with an interest in Zen meditation and
self-cultivation. Practice in silence is essential to maintain
personal focus.
Ekai Korematsu Osho is Abbot and Resident Teacher of
Jikishoan Zen Buddhist Community and Director of the Zen
and Integrated Buddhist Studies (IBS) Program, Jikishoan’s
Buddhist education program. He has received dharma
transmission from Ikko Narasaki Roshi and taught for over
30 years in USA, Japan and India and since 1998 in
Australia.
The activities include an orientation program for
newcomers. The daily schedule includes Zazen and Kinhin
meditation, Samu practice, traditional meal practice and
teachings by resident teacher and Abbot, Ekai Korematsu
Osho. There is a tea service and discussion period each

“Zen practice has a strong emphasis on the need to meet,
face to face. You cannot transmit important matters with
books or only through the knowledge of ideas. The meeting
is essential. Through the practice comes true
understanding.”
