Monthly Calendar
In the Soto Zen tradition, showing gratitude is thought to be an important virtue and while the holiday of Thanksgiving could be seen as a secular holiday, it seems like an auspicious time to give expression to our gratitude for the many blessings we receive and especially the opportunity encounter and practice the Dharma. Please join us for a morning of meditation and this festival ceremony followed by tea and a Dharma talk.
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.
The Dharma discussion will be on various topics of training in the Soto Zen Tradition.
A quiet day at the temple — no services in the morning or evening. Please call if you would like to visit or talk with Rev. Leon. 503 238 1123
Meditation, walking meditation and meditation.
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.
