Spring Zazenkai: A One Day Meditation Retreat

April 19, 2025

7:30am - 5pm PST

Zazen is going right into the Ocean of Awareness, manifesting the body of all Buddhas. The natural luminosity of mind suddenly reveals itself and the original light is everywhere. -Keizan Zenji

A Zazenkai is a day of Zen practice in the city. Join us for a silent day of meditation (seated and walking), chanting, mindful eating, temple care-taking, and a dharma talk. We close the day with a ceremony to renewing our intention to live an ethical life.

Suggested donation includes a vegetarian/vegan lunch. No one turned away for lack of funds.

Your registration helps us know how much lunch to prepare.

This retreat is held in silence.
