ArrivingHome (Sheffield, UK)

The Organisation

ArrivingHome is a voluntary organisation, operating from Sheffield, UK, which aims to make Zen (Concentration Meditation), yoga and other relaxing exercise practices available in mutually agreeable places. Group or individual instruction can be requested. The Zen, yoga and exercise practices are tailored to suit individual situations. It is not our intention to push unwanted religious practices, or make pretence towards enlightened teaching, wishing merely to help our fellow beings.
To visit us, please contact us by e-mail, or 'phone (see below), in advance. We hold a regular open Zazen meeting on Saturdays (16:00 - 18:00), which is preceded by tea, and sutra chanting (please see the Bulletin Board), but we can arrange to meet at other times also.
Visits to you, may be similarly arranged within reasonable travelling distances.

The People

Gensho (Shindo Gensho - Richard Jones) is a practicing Zen Buddhist (~27 years), a student of Hogen (Daido Hogen - Yamahata) Roshi San (Abbot of Chogen-ji Temple, Japan and Teacher at the Open Way Association, Australia, England, Spain and Portugal) and Tangen (Daisetsu Tangen Harada) Roshi Sama (the widely respected Abbot of Bukkoku-ji Zen Temple, Obama-shi, Japan, and Hogen San's lifelong teacher). Gensho has practiced 'Iyengar' yoga since 1973, and in addition uses other types of yoga and Tai Chi exercises. He took Jukai precepts with Hogen San in March 1998, and became a monk, of Tangen Roshi Sama's, at Bukkoku-ji in January 2009.
