Thursday Evening Sittings Return - In-Person and Online!

With the renewal of spring, we're opening our doors even wider and are bringing back Thursday evening practice, in person and online. We will begin with Heart Sutra chanting at 6 p.m. in the Carriage House Zendo, followed by three zazen periods. On the first Thursday of the month, starting June 1, we will have two sittings and then an informal tea and discussion in the Forman House, led by Senior Dharma Teacher Nikyu Robert Strickland or another of our Dharma Teachers (Shinge Roshi will be continuing to offer online dokusan on Thursday evenings for those unable to come to the zendo). Zoom coverage is limited to the zendo.

For newcomers, instruction in zazen techniques and zendo etiquette will be given in the Forman House starting at 6 p.m. Please email admin@hoenji.org if you are coming for the first time, and arrive at the front door of the Forman House (main building) by 5:50 p.m. After the instruction period newcomers will join everyone in the Carriage House Zendo.

Please review our Covid protocols on our website before coming to the Zen Center. If you have symptoms of any illness, we ask you not to come until you are well.
