Upcoming Events

The ethical teachings are one of the three legs of traditional Buddhist practice, the other two being wisdom and meditation. This class is a prerequisite for receiving Jukai and sewing a rakusu.

During this class participants will explore the heart of the ethical teachings through the 16 Bodhisattva Precepts. We will be using Robert Aitken’s “The Mind of Clover”  and John Daido Loori's "The Heart of Being" as our study guides.

If you are thinking of taking the precepts (Jukai) this is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of this important aspect of Zen practice before the ceremony.

Suggested donation is $60 for this 6-week class.

This weekend retreat is designed to support people who are new to Zen retreats (sesshin). While structured similarly to a traditional sesshin, our Essentials of Zen Retreat is more accessible for those who are still working toward sitting for long periods of time.

During this retreat, you’ll receive instruction in zazen (seated meditation), and have a chance to experience and ask questions about our liturgy and the idea of work as a practice of Zen. In addition to dharma talks, there will be question and answer sessions, a yoga period, as well times for rest and personal practice. You’ll also have the opportunity for a private interview with Teshin Roshi to explore the importance of a teacher-student relationship in Zen practice.

Whether you’re new to sesshin/retreat experience, haven’t attended sesshin recently, or you’re simply looking for more support in your practice, we invite you to join us.

Cost is $130 for non-members and $120 for members.
