Wednesday Evening
Zazen Online

Wednesdays,
7 pm - 9m EST
Cost: Free

Welcome to the Ocean Mind Sangha, our online community of Zen Buddhist practitioners. Join us for our weekly Wednesday night silent meditation (zazen) sessions, and visit the OMS calendar to view all events in our the online zendo.

After sitting on Wednesdays, OMS Guiding Teacher Zuisei offers a dharma talk or leads the study of a Buddhist text. (Wednesdays Jan 1, March 26, and March 28, Zuisei will lead the sangha in Fusatsu, the Renewal of Vows ceremony. All are encouraged to join.) The Wednesday Evening Zazen schedule is as follows:

7:00 pm Log in
7:05 pm Beginning of zazen
8:00 pm End of zazen
8:05 pm Dharma talk or study
9:00 pm Closing chant

If you’ve been sitting for a while and want to deepen your meditation practice, our Wednesday sits are perfect. We sit for an hour, but if you’re unable to sit that long and want to come for the dharma study, you’re welcome to join partway (just make sure to register before the event starts; the link disappears once we’ve begun). You can also take a break in the middle of zazen, or do some standing or walking meditation.

If you’re new to Zen meditation or the Ocean Mind Sangha, please let Zuisei know so she can plan to give you beginning instruction in zazen and an orientation to our program. At the end of the evening we’ll chant the Four Bodhisattva Vows before closing.

This event is offered freely and donations are deeply appreciated. Deep gratitude for your practice and support. We look forward to sitting with you.

f you’d like to offer a donation, please know that your generous dana supports Zuisei’s work and the operations of the Ocean Mind Sangha.
