“In an age of constant movement, nothing is more urgent than sitting still.”

—Pico Iyer

If you want to deepen your relationship to zazen but feel daunted by the four-hour Half-Day Sits, this new option is perfect for you. Join us as we dive into a couple of quiet hours of sitting book-ended by two short chants. There is no private teaching—just you with your body, your mind, silence, and the company of noble friends.

Please note that zazen is silent meditation (not guided), so previous experience is helpful. If you’re new to Zen and would like to ease yourself into the practice, join us for Saturday Morning Zazen, where Zuisei will offer an orientation that includes instruction in zazen and the practice in the Ocean Mind Sangha.

We’ll start the morning by chanting the Verse of the Kesa, and we’ll end with the short version of the Four Immeasurables.

There is no cost for this program.
