About the Class

Zen is strongly associated with group practice. Having the opportunity to be with others on the same path and in a place dedicated to this work is tremendously beneficial. This session is our main weekly Zen meditation meeting, and there is time for guidance for beginners and some teaching.

We begin with chanting, then there will be a Dharma talk by Daizan Roshi (or another our other dharma teachers), Zazen with an opportunity for Sanzen (private Zen interview). After 6pm we have an informal optional tea finishing about 7pm. For more information about the session, see the Zenways website (the website for our Zen group).
