We meet regularly for meditation and supplemental training. We also host retreats and special events throughout the year.

First-timers may visit on a Tuesday for meditation instruction from a roshi or senior student. Instruction is personalized and includes time for questions. First-time guests must RSVP by completing this form and this required waiver and arrive a few minutes before 7 pm.

Regular attendees are requested to make a recurring $50 monthly donation to help us cover operating expenses. Otherwise, we request a donation of $10 for single visits. We request a donation of $20 for orientation visits via Paypal, mailing a check, or dropping cash or a check in our donation box.

When you visit our space, please consider the following:

  • Always be respectful to our temple and practices, and other practitioners. 

  • Remove hats, shoes, and socks before entering the zendo.

  • Wear plain, dark-colored, loose clothing so you can sit for the entire period of teaching and practice without discomfort; most jeans are unsuitable. Shorts, short skirts, and revealing clothes aren't allowed.

  • Silence cell phones so as not to disturb others.

  • Move around the space mindfully, and do not make unnecessary noise.
