Why do we bow? What is that chant about? What should we focus on during walking practice? 

On Tuesday evening September 8 at our usual evening practice time we will be offering a special “Introduction to Zen” program designed to address such questions. The evening will include time for explanations, questions, and discussion as well as our usual chanting and walking, and a (perhaps shortened) period of silent sitting.

If you are curious about Zen practice, please join us! If you have more experience with Zen, this is an opportunity to share your insights as well as deepen your insight into the Soto Zen forms and liturgy used at GBZC.

For more information about our evening practice, see Tuesday Evening Practice. If coming in person, please consult How and When to Come and be sure to arrive somewhat before 7pm. If attending online, see this instructions document.
