StoneWater Lake District

In October 2005, Keizan Sensei and a small group of students from the Liverpool sangha inaugurated a new zendo at Sensei's Lake District house south of Penrith, near the village of Bampton Grange.

Stonewater Zendo near Bampton Grange.

The Zendo is small, and sits about ten people comfortably and is used mainly for weekend sesshin from Friday evening to Sunday lunchtime, which are advertised in the 'Events' section. The retreats are held in silence and vegetarian meals are provided. The daily schedule includes several meditation periods, samu, dharma talks and interviews with Sensei, informal meals, and usually a chance to go out for walks in the countryside. The retreats are only open to people known personally to Sensei or have contacted him previously.
