Monthly Calendar
The Dharma discussion will be on various topics of training in the Soto Zen Tradition.
Meditation instruction and an introduction to our practice and the ceremonial aspects of the Soto Zen tradition.
Meditation, Mid-day Service and Dharma Discussion
30 minutes of meditation followed by vespers, the last ceremonial of the day. Vespers is the Chanting of The Litany of the Great Compassionate One followed by other short verses.
One of the foundations of our practice is looking at our minds through the lens of the Bodhisattva Precepts and this evening we will have an open discussion about the Precepts and other aspects of practice.
Reverend Master Haryo Young, the head of the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives, will join us for a dessert tea during which we can have the opportunity to ask questions and get to know him a bit better. Reverend Master Haryo will be visiting the temple from August the 8th to August the 13th and will be available to meet privately by appointment — call the temple for more information.
