The Hartford Street Zen Center presently has availability for two practice resident students. We are looking for individuals interested in and committed to experiencing residential practice at a small, urban temple. Ideally applicants would have prior experience with full-time residential Buddhist community practice. Attendance to zazen, study group, ceremonies and teachings/lessons and should be of strong interest. While participation and assistance in the daily events of the sangha are expected of any potential practice resident, it is our expectation that most residents are employed outside of the center (you must be able to pay your monthly tuition), we are accommodating toward one’s professional schedule balanced with the need of assistance in keep up temple operations on required attendance arrangements. If you’re interested but we don’t know you, please make sure to join us for practice as a first step.
February 2013: Opening for Practice Resident
The Hartford Street Zen Center has availability for one practice resident as of February 2013. We are looking for individuals interested in and committed to experiencing residential practice at a small, urban temple, helping to create and maintain a harmonious and welcoming place for our resident and non-resident sangha and living an engaged practice schedule.
Applicants ideally have prior experience with Soto Zen practice, and prior residential practice experience is not a requirement, but is preferred. While participation and assistance in the daily events of the sangha are expected of any practice resident, it is our expectation that most residents are employed outside of the center, and so we are accommodating toward one’s professional schedule as long as there is enough personal practice as guided and determined by our Practice Leader to be an active and engaged residential student.
