Zazen (sitting meditation) is the
heart of our practice at Zen Heart Sangha. We offer two periods of zazen and kinhin (walking meditation) every Monday evening at Peninsula School
in Menlo Park. These are followed by a lecture, except on the first Monday of
each month which is dedicated to zazen practice only.
We also have a
practice program on the first and third Saturday of each month at Zenshin Do,
our meditation hall in Woodside. The schedule includes three periods of zazen, a
community breakfast, a work period and a time for the study and discussion of dharma (Buddhist
teachings).
In addition,
there are several half-day and one-day sittings each year, two longer retreats
in the spring and fall, and special celebrations of Buddhist holidays. Please
see our schedule page for these events.
