Zen Center

Meditation Schedule

Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM

Saturday mornings at 9:00 AM



Beginning Meditation Instruction is offered to newcomers 30 minutes prior to any scheduled sitting. For the basics of Zen and sitting see Zen 1-2-3.

On Wednesday evenings we begin with zazen (meditation), followed by daisan (formal one-to-one interview between teacher and student). Daisan is followed by discussion, a microdharma talk, or both. On the third Wednesday of the month, sitting will be followed by a sangha meeting.

On Saturdays we begin with Service, followed by zazen, daisan, and a dharma talk given by one of the teachers or a senior student. After the talk, there is usually opportunity for tea and conversation.
