In light of the restrictions on in-person gatherings, we invite everyone to join for an online program (via video conferencing app Zoom) to substitute for our normal Saturday schedule so we may maintain our practice in community until we can meet once again at our temple. We will be doing this every Saturday through May 2nd. Join us on Zoom for zazen at 9:30 a.m. followed by a talk at 10 a.m.
Just follow this link, which will help you set up a free account and download the Zoom app, if you haven’t already done so, and join the meeting starting at 9 a.m.: https://zoom.us/j/167153141

May all beings be happy, may they be well and live in safety, free from danger, want and care 🙏
Due to the prevailing public health situation, One Mountain Temple (Issan-ji) is suspending all public events until safety concerns have subsided. This regrettable step is in line with the efforts being made by reasonable parties to “flatten the curve”, i.e. to prevent the pace of infection by the Covid19 virus from outstripping available healthcare resources. Our residential practice will continue without interruption as much as possible. Any updates to our circumstances will be posted to our website.
Please know that our concern extends beyond our immediate congregation, to
include our neighbors, family members, distant friends and relatives, and,
inevitably, all sentient beings.
May all beings be happy, may they be well, and may they live in safety, free from danger, want and care.
