March 1: Mountain Seat Ceremony
The Mountain Seat Ceremony, installing Linda Galijan Roshi as BZC Abbot, will be Sunday, March 1, 2026, starting at noon. We are pleased that many elders and friends in our lineage will be able to join us, including Hoitsu Suzuki Roshi from Japan. We anticipate that our zendo will be at capacity, including guests, participants, and BZC members. To allow the broadest participation, we will also create several spaces at BZC for a cozy streaming experience, and easy access to the reception following. We will also provide streaming for those not on site.
