NYZ: Zazen and Dokusan
December 15, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
On most Monday evenings, Hokuto Osho offers online dokusan to students who participate in the in-person zazen session. The format will follow the form of in-person dokusan as closely as possible. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., formal activities begin promptly at 7 p.m. There will be han, lineage chanting, and two periods of zazen with dokusan.
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.
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.
A $10 donation (payable online) is requested from non-members. Please consider becoming a Supporting Member of the Zen Studies Society. Registration is not required. ZSS Health Protocols apply.
