Zen Meditation Sunday Evenings in Rockville

Please join us.
We have 6-12 Zen practitioners every Sunday evening for Zen meditation. Our teachers and sometimes a senior student will offer an encouraging community talk or practice- instruction in Zen practice.

First bell rings at 7 pm so come 15 minutes early. Please be in your seat by that time. Our meditation is silent for 25-minutes, with 5 minutes walking mediation and dharma talks in between.

On first Sundays, we have a meet and greet with tea, discussion, and snacks. Meet with a teacher for instruction; let us know if you are new to meditation or to Zen practice. We welcome newcomers. We end our time together with tea and conversation. Join us!

Location: Our Zendo is located in the back of Rockville United Church at 355 Linthicum St, Rockville MD. After parking in front, walk slightly down the slope and take the small rightward path up a slight slope to the back door of the church. Look for our signs. We're on the lower level of the church past the double wooden doors. Here's a guiding map.

Joyful Mind Zen Community offers Zen practice, teaching, sitting and walking meditation on Sundays, Monday and Tuesday in our Rockville Zendo. All are welcome, no experience necessary, free to all. Our guiding teacher is authorized in the Soto Zen lineage and has practiced Zen for 25 years.

All are welcome. No experience necessary. Let us know if you have questions.
