Dokusan is an important part of the formal training in the Rinzai Zen tradition. Chigan Roshi and Hokuto Osho offer online dokusan to support practitioners who cannot physically attend events at our temples, whether this is due to geographical distance, mobility, or health challenges. Appointment slots and times are limited. Everyone is encouraged to take advantage of the regularly scheduled (online or in-person) dokusan opportunities at New York Zendo and Dai Bosatsu Zendo.

Cancellation Instructions:
