We would like to first thank all who joined and help deliver a very nice and touching ceremony recently.
We also want to share there will be another Jukai Ceremony Saturday August 31st in place of the usual Dharma talk for two of the beloved Issan-Ji temple lay community (Sangha). We hope you will join us for this wonderful and touching event!
This event will be in place of the usual Saturday Dharma talk (although some words of Zen (Soto) lineage will be spoken). Also note this event will occur for others in August and early September again, as a note for the near future. Prior to that 10:30am time slot it will be our usual routine.
Join us for zazen (seated meditation) at 9:30am, with the Ceremony to follow at around/near 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. There’s an earlier sitting at 6:30am, in addition to the later one at 9:30am (you can log into the conference starting at 9am to socialize). A period of zazen is typically 40 minutes, and it’s ok to adjust your sitting posture as needed.
We enjoy tea and cookies together afterwards. Please click here to be routed to our Zoom gathering
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 for Dharma talk Saturdays, it is our Abbot, Rev. Myo Lahey.
