The Zoom link is the same each day, so you only have to register once and can use it any day, regardless of the date you registered for.
For silent meditation, including the opportunity for a short private teaching and orientation to OMS with Guiding Teacher Vanessa Zuisei Goddard, join us for Wednesday Evening Zazen.
We look forward to sitting with you.
Your generous dana supports the operations of the Ocean Mind Sangha and makes it possible for us to offer event scholarships to those who need them.
What is Zazen?
In Buddhism, the main path to liberation is meditation, or, as it’s called in Zen, zazen, seated meditation. Zen Buddhist practitioners sit in silence, and often sit with sangha. It is an illuminating and immeasurable practice, and the one way to truly know what zazen is, is to do it and to do it consistently. This is why OMS offers Beginner’s Instruction, in various formats, and many ways to sit together online freely almost every day. All are welcome.
