EXAMPLE SENTENCES

The monks gathered silently in the zendo before dawn to begin their daily practice of seated meditation and mindful breathing exercises. Visitors to the monastery were instructed to enter the zendo quietly and bow respectfully before taking their assigned cushions near the wall. The zendo remained completely silent except for the soft sound of breathing and the occasional ringing of the meditation bell by the head monk. She spent several weeks living at the retreat center attending meditation sessions in the zendo from early morning until late evening each day. The newly constructed zendo featured polished wooden floors white walls and large windows that allowed soft natural light to fill the space.
