Grand Rapids Buddhist Meetup

Have you been looking for a group to meditate with and study Buddhism?

The Sokukoji Buddhist Community would love for you to come Tuesday nights from 6-8 p.m. All are welcome - whether you are a beginning or experienced meditator, whether you are completely new to Buddhism or have been studying for years.

SokukoJi Buddhist Temple Monastery is a Soto Zen temple in Battle Creek that was founded in 2007 by the guiding Abbot, Sokuzan, who studied in both Tibetan Buddhist and Japanese Soto Zen lineages.

Every Tuesday evening Buddhist monks from SokukoJi lead meditation and a book study in Grand Rapids. On the first Tuesday of the month, Sokuzan offers meditation instruction, a dharma talk, and responses to questions from attendees.

There is no fee for the evening but donations help this weekly practice and study to continue. Call/text (734)272-1392 for further details.

Join us as we host Sokuzan, the abbot of Sokukoji Buddhist Monastery, for a talk on meditation practice. Sokuzan began meditating in 1973 after meeting the tantric master Chogyam Trungpa Rinpohe. Sokuzan continued his practice and study with Trungpa until Trungpa passed in 1987. In 1990 Sokuzan met his Zen master Kobun Chino Roshi. Sokuzan went on to found Sokukoji Buddhist Monastery in Battle Creek Michigan.

We will begin with meditation instruction and a group meditation, followed by Sokuzan's talk.

Everyone is welcome!!!

Please use the rear entrance. There is free parking off Logan St behind the building.

Socks are required in the meditation hall.

All events are offered freely but your donations allow us to rent space and provide supplies.
