UNSCHEDULED
DAYS
Most state and national
holidays are unscheduled, as is the day after any sesshin.
The Honolulu Diamond
Sangha has traditionally had a close relationship with Vipassana
Hawai'i, a local Vipassana sangha. Occasionally Vipassana uses
our facilities for retreats. Residents can choose to attend these
retreats or they can maintain their regular schedule of work and/or
school.
SAMU
Work on the temple
buildings and grounds has always been an integral part of Zen
training, with simple, manual tasks especially favored. Samu at
Palolo maintains this tradition, consisting mainly of cleaning,
cooking, gardening and light maintenance. Construction, landscaping
and office projects occur on an occasional basis. We make use
of people's particular talents and skills whenever possible. The
practice of samu is to devote ourselves to the task at hand wholeheartedly
and singlemindedly, letting everything else fall away.
