Friends and family are welcome and may join at 11 a.m. after the sitting.

Please RSVP: December 5th Sangha Work Day

We will sit zazen from 8:00 to 8:45 for those able to join, followed by a work meeting at 8:50.

 Lunch and light refreshments are provided.

Traditionally known as Rohatsu, which means the eighth day of the twelfth month, this ceremony commemorates the great enlightenment of Siddhartha Gautama—The Buddha. Participants are encouraged to bring a quote of the Buddha or a passage from one of the Sutras to read out loud. The story of the Buddha’s awakening is read and incense offerings are made.

This meeting will be in person and on Zoom.

This introductory workshop is an opportunity to learn more about the principles and practice of Zen. 

We encourage anyone who has not done an orientation at the Center to attend. Even if you have been sitting with us for a while, it can be helpful to review and perhaps learn something new. 

We will go over the philosophy, practice, and forms of Zen. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, as well as  meet some of the members and staff. Light refreshments will be offered. 

Cost is $30
