View submission: Question: Are sesshins often tied to taking precepts or other formal declarations in Zen groups?

So you practice in a different tradition to your teacher?

They’re both Soto, but different lineages. The sangha I attend doesn’t have an actual teacher that you do dosukan with. I guess he is technically a teacher. He’s received Jukai and has been sitting at this sangha for 30 years. But his method is “just sit.” There’s never really any teachings.
