| Please join our community of support for recognition of Siddhārtha Gautama, Shakyamuni Buddha’s 2588th birthday! “I am chief of the world, Eldest am I in the world, Foremost am I in the world This is the last birth. There is now no more coming to be.” We plan to extend the usual sitting meditation and walking periods on Saturday to begin at 5:30am on Saturday and include Kinhin (walking mediation) rounds up until normal Saturday routine – to inquire further write to info@hszc.org remember the sangha (community) jewel is a vital part of our Zen practice and best way to celebrate the buddha’s birth! Join us Saturdays for zazen (seated meditation) and Kinhin rounds at 5:30am, 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, Kinhin about 10 minutes each 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.

As a reminder any week you do not see a speaker announced it is our Abbot, Rev. Myo Lahey. |
