Wednesday Night Weekly Meditation

Unless otherwise noted, Treetop meets every Wednesday night and Saturday morning for meditation.

The Wednesday program consists of two 25-minute periods of zazen (seated meditation). The first period ends with five minutes of kinhin (walking meditation), which is often followed by a brief talk with discussion. During the second sitting period, the teachers offer daisan (a private interview to discuss practice) to those attending in person.

The Saturday program begins with a 25-minute service followed by two 25-minute periods of zazen (seated meditation). The first period ends with five minutes of kinhin (walking meditation) and commonly a dharma talk or monthly recitation of the precepts (fusatsu). During the second sitting period, the teachers offer daisan (a private interview to discuss practice) to those attending in person.

We offer cushions as well as kneeling benches and chairs.
