If you would like to join us, or be put on our emailing list please contact us at: info@daystarzendo.org
Every Wednesday evening we gather for zazen on Zoom at 6:30 PM ET. Our sitting period is for about 25 minutes. This is followed most weeks by a short teisho (talk) given by one of our teachers. We then have a short closing period using a chant from our chant book.
Every Morning at 8:00 we have a half hour zazen period via Zoom, except when we have a book discussion or Zazenkai. That is usually twice a month, so please check the schedule below. It's a great way to begin your day.
Once a month at 9:00 on Saturdays we have a short zazen period followed by a book discussion.
2024
September 28th: Book Discussion at 9:00. We will be starting our new book: The Other Shore by Thich Nhat Hanh. The book is a new translation of The Heart Sutra which is one of the most well-known Buddhist teachings, yet it is also one of the most misunderstood. Please read up to page 34 which includes two forwards, the preface and chapters one and two.
Next book discussion date: October 12th.
September 14th: Zazenkai. We will begin at 9:00 and finish up at 12:00. We will be back at the retreat house as well as on Zoom. The link for Zoom will be sent out prior to all those on our mailing list. If you wish to join the mailing list, please contact us at info@daystarzendo.org. As in the past, please join us for a bag lunch at the retreat house following the sit.
Next Zazenkai date: October 26th.
