All-Day Sits / Weekend Sesshins

Spending one or more days immersed in Zen practice in the middle of the city is a rare and precious opportunity. These intense, silent meditation days help deepen one’s zazen experience and help prepare for 5 to 7-day sesshin at Dai Bosatsu Zendo.

All Day Sits are typically held on Saturdays; the program will include zazen, chanting, and a formal meal eaten in traditional monastic style. Special talks, readings, and Dharma talks by guest teachers may also be given. Please see our calendar for dates and fees.

7:30 Doors open
