12-18.09.2006, the 4th Sesshin took place at Horakuji, Wrocław, in the presence of a Japanese Buddhist teacher - Yamada Bunryo. “Sesshin” is one week of intensive zen training, and Sesshin with Yamada Bunryo Roshi in Wrocław is held every year since 2003. We interviewed Bunyu who is responsible for the organization of this Sesshin, and we asked him how he started the practice of zen and what motivates people to participate in this zen training.
