Shakya then allowed the monks and nuns to move into communal
dwellings to practice intensely for a three month period each year.
In the Zen tradition, Ango has come to mean a 90 day period of
intensified Zen practice.
An Ango has a formal Entry Ceremony in which each practitioner
makes his or her commitment to an intensified practice schedule.
There is one Head Trainee for the entire Ango, either a senior lay
person or a priest. At the end of the Ango we hold a Closing
Ceremony, in which the Head Trainee gives a teaching then
challenges to participants to Dharma Combat – an electrifying series
of debates around issues raised in the teaching.
At High Mountain Crystal Lake Zen Community we are engaged in
the discipline of worldly life, integrating our Zen meditation and
practice with family, careers, relationships, and community service.
We have chosen to divide the 90 day Ango into three discrete
periods in order to better maintain an intensified practice schedule.
Ango participants are asked to practice Zen meditation at least one
hour daily and attend the three Weekend Retreats.
