Five-Day Sesshin (End Practice Period)

Sun, Jun 25, 2023
These sesshins will generally follow our
winter format, with three periods of zazen in
the morning followed by a dharma talk, then a
midday break for lunch, rest, and work period,
then three periods of zazen in the afternoon.
A modified oryoki lunch will be served at tables
in the courtyard. To purchase a set of oryoki
bowls and/or to sign up for an oryoki training
