Zazen Instruction

In-Person Zazen Instruction and Beginner Orientation

We are now offering meditation instruction and orientation every Saturday morning, at 8:40 am, at BZC (1933 Russell St) to anyone vaxxed and boosted.  Please bring your vax/booster card; masking is now optional.

We share how we meditate and also some details about how to move around in our zendo (meditation hall) and join services (bowing and chanting).

After the orientation, participants are welcome to join the next period of zazen in the zendo (at 9:40 am) and the lecture at 10:15.  The Saturday program ends by 11:30 am.

No need to sign up; all are welcome!
