NYZ: Sunday Morning Service and Zazen
October 8, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
On Sundays, we hold morning chanting service (choka) at 10 a.m., followed by walking meditation (kinhin) and zazen. A Dharma Talk will be given on the first Sunday of each month. After zazen, there will be 30 minutes of temple cleaning (nittensoji), followed by tea and informal discussion. Doors open at 9:30 a.m.
A quiet atmosphere with minimal distractions is essential to our practice. Please do not wear scented cosmetics, and set any electronic device to silent mode. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Refer to Zendo Etiquette for more details. ZSS Health Protocols apply.
Newcomers to the temple are kindly requested to attend one Introduction to Zen Meditation class, held on Thursday evenings, before joining the community for other practice events. No prior experience is necessary.
A $10 donation (payable online) is requested from non-members. Please consider becoming a Supporting Member of ZSS.
