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.
