– Living Vow Zen liturgy book

Zazenkai are all-day (or sometimes half-day) practice periods. They are a meaningful way to deepen your practice with the support of sangha and are wonderful for folks who can't or aren't ready to attend full weekend retreats. Zazenkai include liturgy, dokusan (meetings with the teacher), zazen, walking meditation, and a Dharma talk with discussion.

Zazenkai are held during months when we do not have sesshin and usually meet on Saturdays in-person. Please check our calendar and join our mailing list for notices of zazenkai.

The suggested donation is $25, but donating is not required. Please plan to bring your own lunch to all-day zazenkai.
