Hollow Bones Green Tara Sangha – Zen Meditation Buddhist Studies

Established in 1998, the Green Tara Sangha offers both the beginning and experienced student an opportunity for Zen practice, Buddhist study and fellowship with others interested in the practice of Dhyana meditation. The Sangha is sanctioned by Roshi Junpo Kando Denis Kelly, former Vice Abbot at Dai Bosatsu Monastery in New York. Junpo is Dharma Heir to Eido Shimano Roshi, of the Rinzai shu of Zen Buddhism.

FOUNDER OF THE SANGHA: JUNPO DENIS KELLY
Junpo Denis Kelly, received his Zen Masters recognition in 1992. He was Vice Abbot and head monk and resident yoga teacher at Dai Bosatsu Zendo Kong Ji in the Catskill Mountains in New York state from 1987 through 1993. His Inka Zen lineage is in the Rinzai tradition, through Edio Shimano Roshi of the The Zen Studies Society. His yoga lineage is that of BKS Iyengar and Patabi Jois. Junpo has been practicing, studying and teaching Zen and Yoga for over twenty five years.

Junpo comes to Green Bay in the Spring & Fall to lead a Zen & Yoga Retreat. The retreat offers Zen practitioners an opportunity for more intensive practice, the experience of essential silence and private meetings with Junpo to explore the depth of one’s practice and understanding.

Members and friends of the Green Tara Sangha now come from throughout Wisconsin and from out of state. The Sangha has five regular sites for group practice and study; Green Bay, Appleton, Jacksonport, Random Lake & Woodruff Wisconsin.

In addition to the regular sitting schedule and the two seven-day retreats, Sangha locations offer Buddhist study opportunity, half-day sits and others forms of practice and education throughout the year.

Some members of the Sangha have taken Buddhist precepts in the Jukai ceremony, declaring their formal intention as students of Junpo and a commitment to practice.

All are welcome to join the Sangha in meditative practice. There is no cost. For general information contact the Bay Area Yoga Center, or John at 920-562-9727, or see the 4 locations below.
