Weekly Zen (Chan) Practice
& Meditation Workshops


Join us each week for two hours of insight into the teachings and practices of Zen Buddhism. WeˇŻll be guided on our journey of self-discovery each week by our Zen master (Buddhist layman) with occasional visits to the temple to meet real Zen Buddhist monks. WeˇŻll learn about Zen (Chan in Chinese) through its music, its stories, its art, its rituals and its martial arts.

* Each week we'll discuss how the principles of Zen (Chan) can be applied to calm and enrich our own daily lives.

* In keeping with the meaning of Zen (Chan)¨Cˇ°learning through meditationˇ±- weˇŻll end each weekly meeting with over one hour meditation session (both sitting and walking meditations). Our Buddhist guide will teach you the proper meditation techniques and our Zen environment of music, candles and incense will calm your mind and soothe your soul.
