Zazen was a five-day Pune One non-residential meditation group led by Pradeepa and Gopal. The Community to Provoke God brochure had this to say as a brief description:
- Zazen is a traditional zen meditation which, like Vipassana, involves long hours of silent sitting and slow walking. As the mind slows down and becomes quieter and quieter, each thought can be watched with awareness and the gaps between the thoughts become longer and longer.
Both the sitting and walking segments were shorter than in Vipassana, and the sitting involved open eyes, staring at a blank wall, your motionless neighbour offering no distraction from the process. At the end, a Japanese tea ceremony, complete with a group chant.
According to the groups timeline chart in The Sound of Running Water, Zazen was offered from Sep 1977 to Mar 1978, TSORW's cut-off date. It is known to have persisted past that date though, so it may even have lasted till Osho left for the States, in Jun 1981.
