“Silence is the think tank of the soul.”
—Gordon Hempton
Silence is at the heart of meditation practice because in order to see ourselves and the world clearly, we need quiet and stability of mind. In Buddhism, silence is considered a great refuge.
Join us for a morning of silent meditation during our monthly Zazen Intensive: Half-Day Sit led by Guiding Teacher Zuisei Goddard.
These sits are open, which means there are no timed periods. You’re welcome to stand, take breaks, or adjust your posture as needed. During the morning there will be an opportunity for daisan (private teaching) and we’ll end with a short liturgy service.
