Saturday Sangha Online Program

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

Meeting ID: 167 153 141

May all beings be happy, may they be well and live in safety, free from danger, want and care 🙏

NOTICE – Temporary Temple Closure

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.

Guest Speaker: Rev. Daigan Gaither – Sat. Feb 22, 2020

Rev. Daigan Gaither began Buddhist practice in 1995 in the Vipassana (Insight) tradition, and then began to study Zen in 2003 with Ryushin Paul Haller Roshi. He received Lay Ordination in 2006 where he was given the name Daigan or “Great Vow”, and received Priest Ordination in July 2011. Daigan speaks internationally on a variety of topics particularly around gender, sexuality, social justice and their intersections with the Dharma. He has a BA in Philosophy and Religion from San Francisco State University, and an MA in Buddhist Studies from the Graduate Theological Union and the Institute of Buddhist Studies.

Come for zazen (seated meditation) at 9:25 a.m., and stay for tea-and-cookies after the talk. All are welcome!
