Monthly Calendar
A family day is an opportunity for families with children to come and learn a bit about practice in a kid friendly way. The morning usually starts with a little walking meditation and some guided sitting meditation followed by a story and some activity that will allow us to explore practice in daily life. We end the morning with a snack and closing circle. Parents are encouraged to come and practice with their children.
Wednesday evening Dharma class and vespers via zoom. (For access information, send us an email.) Lately we have discussing the Zen koans in Nyogen Senzaki’s book “The Iron Flute.”
Friday Dharma class and and mid-day service (includes the recitation of Dogen’s Rules For Meditation or, Fukenzangi) via zoom. (For access information, send us an email.)
Work is a long standing element of practice in the Zen tradition and represents a concrete way to put practice into action in our everyday life. Working Meditation days at the Priory are a way to concentrate on and develop this aspect of practice and they are a way to give expression to generosity by helping take care of the practical elements of the life of the temple.
