​
Zazen is the dharma gate of great ease and joy
— this is the standard that Master Dogen lays down.
​
Join us for a morning of meditation where we sit with ease and intimacy. We spend this time together in self-exploration and investigation. It is ideal for beginners, intermediate, and experienced meditators who wish to deepen their practice. The Ease and Joy of Mornings is open to everyone.

We come together as community to sit zazen, or silent illumination, for 25-30 minutes. On some mornings, Zazen is followed by a short reading and reflection, and we close with a recitation of the Four Great Vows and the Benefit for All.
​
REGISTRATION NOT REQUIRED. DONATIONS WELCOME AND APPRECIATED.

​
Practice and enlightenment, the masters have long said, are both solitary and social endeavors. We need each other for reflection, encouragement and inspiration. Though some may have a strong capacity for seclusion, sangha is one of the three precious gems for a very good reason. We depend on each other to wake up. "We Are More Together Than Alone"!

**Guidelines for Participating (Zazen) Meditation Over Zoom:**
Please join sittings a few minutes before the scheduled time, so as to be seated and settled in place before the period of zazen begins.
Please keep your microphone muted until the very end.
The group leader will ring three bells to begin zazen, and one bell to signal the end of zazen.

REGISTRATION NOT REQUIRED. DONATIONS WELCOME AND APPRECIATED.

The Ease & Joy of Evening Contemplation

**Sunday Morning Zazen**

Zazen is at the core of Soto Zen Buddhism. It has been refined and well honed over thousands of years and because of these endless offerings down through the ages, we are invited to a way to show up to ourselves that actually works. It has been said that a Zendo (meditation hall) is a conducive space for enlightenment and so we come together in community, for community, for that very purpose.​

Open to both beginners and experienced practitioners.

Join us In Person at the Zendo or
on [Zoom for Meditation from 9AM to 11AM](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89861739415)
