Please join us for this wonderful event
This event will be in place of the usual Saturday Dharma talk (although some words of Zen (Soto) lineage will be spoken), in the 10:30am dharma talk time slot.
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 Saturdays, 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.
