Late arrival : if you cannot make it on time, no problem. If the meditation is going on (people inside are sitting on their funny black cushions) and you don't really know what to do, wait on the bench outside the dojo until they start walking and join inside right then. If you know how to sit in Zazen, enter the dojo and sit.
Fee : there is no fee – donations are welcome to support our instructor Michael Elliston Roshi, Abbot of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center, and founder of the Silent Thunder Order.
Zazenkai (???) literally means "to come together for meditation" , it is a short Zen Buddhist retreat.
Wiregrass Soto Zen Group meets every Monday night at 8:00 p.m. for Zazen, tea and dharma discussion.
Meetings are in Dothan at the Yoshukai Karate Dojo (1791 Ross Clarck Circle). They are open to everyone.
Our emphasis is on Zazen more than in discussion or religious service.
The leader of the group Ji Ryu - Frederic Lecut has been a disciple of Elliston Roshi for several years. He also teaches several traditional Martial Arts, and tries to build a bridge between the 2 disciplines : Zen and Budo.
We also sometimes meet for longer sitting sessions at the Headland Dojo (610 Mitchell Street, Headland, AL 36345).
Frederic can be reached by phone at (334) 798 1639, or by e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
