    Young East Bay Zen Meet Up


    Thu, Jan 21, 2021

    "YEBZ" at Berkeley Zen Center invites younger practitioners and beginners to join us in open discussion groups about Zen Buddhism, meditation, and developing a personal practice. Our aim is to cultivate “Kalyana Mitta,” spiritual friendship, to provide members with the opportunity to meet others in their age group and similar situations to support each other in bringing Zen practice more fully into our daily lives.

    Please note that this event uses a different Zoom link than the online zendo. You can join by clicking here (password: bzc).

Our aim is to cultivate “Kalyana Mitta,” spiritual friendship, to provide members with the opportunity to meet others in their age group and similar situations to support each other in bringing Zen practice more fully into our daily lives.

    Additionally, we will have "facilitated" discussions with a senior student or longtime practitioner every 4th Saturday, and those will be on various Koans from The Hidden Lamp. This session will be a casual discussion.
