Zenshin Greg Fain got his first introduction to Zen at San Francisco Zen Center (SFZC) when he was 19, and has been training closely with Sojun Mel Weitsman Roshi, the Abbot of Berkeley Zen Center, for over 20 years. He was ordained as a Zen priest in 2002, and received Dharma Transmission in the lineage of Suzuki Roshi from Sojun Roshi in April 2012. Additionally he is the spouse of another SFZC Priest Rev Shinchi, Linda Galijan. A cute article about them is here.
Join us for zazen (seated meditation) at 6:30am and/or 9:30am, with the Dharma talk to follow at 10:30. We offer in-person distanced attendance, and we also will continue to offer a Zoom web conferencing for video and/or audio presence for the scheduled events.
A period of zazen is typically 40 minutes, and it’s ok to adjust your sitting posture as needed. The Dharma talk includes time for questions and answers, occasionally followed by a particular ceremony such as the celebration of Buddha’s Birthday. We enjoy tea and cookies together afterwards. .

And as always, you can contact us to arrange an introductory session ~8:45am if you are a beginner. As a reminder any week you do not see a speaker announced it is our Abbot, Rev. Myo Lahey.
