Zazen Gatherings

BEGINNERS WELCOME at Sunday Zazen Gatherings, at which time there is zazen (Zen meditation) instruction. Thereafter attendance at other gathering times is also possible. Daily zazen is the foundation practice of Zen life. Group zazen inspires and helps stabilize our practice. Please plan to arrive a few minutes early to be seated in the zendo before the period begins. Open Donation Basket.(Members: Free). Please contact the Zendo for specific dates.

Dress: For zazen, a formal zazen robe is recommended. Otherwise, wear loose fitting clothing in a solid, neutral color, floor length, and with long sleeves. Please do not wear tank tops, shorts, tight pants, or fragrance. The zendo (zazen hall) can be chilly in winter months.

 

Sundays:

8:30 – 10:30 a.m. (Arrival pre-sit from 30 min. prior.)  Beginners welcome for zazen instruction. Chanting, zazen, and walking Zen. Dharma talk sometimes. Tea afterwards. Vegetarian snack offerings are welcome but not required.

 

 

 

Wednesdays:

6:30 – 8:30 p.m. (Arrival pre-sit from 30 min. prior.)  Chanting, zazen, kinhin walking, and prostrations. Short tea afterwards. 

 

 

 

Please contact us if you would like to attend: endless@epix.net or 570-925-5077. Dates of Zazen Gatherings are announced by e-mail. To receive e-notices of impromptu and scheduled events, please e-mail us and ask to be put on the sangha e-list.

The residents' daily morning and evening zazen schedule is open to those who have attended an initial zazen instruction and cannot make it to the zazen gathering times or would like to intensify their daily practice. Please contact the Zendo for current days and times.
