Saturdays, 9 am - 10:15 am EDT

Welcome to the Ocean Mind Sangha. On Saturdays we sit two 30-min. periods of zazen—silent meditation—and Zuisei offers private teaching for those who’d like to try it. We also do an orientation for those new to zazen and the Ocean Mind Sangha.

Please note that zazen is silent meditation (not guided). If you’d like to start a zazen practice, or if you’ve been wanting to sit regularly but have been intimidated by the prospect of doing it alone, this is an excellent way to begin.

The schedule is as follows:

8:00 - 8:05 am Verse of the Kesa and start of zazen
8:05 - 8:30 am Zazen and private sessions with Zuisei; orientation
8:30 am Single bell to indicate halfway point and break
8:30 - 9:00 am Zazen and private sessions with Zuisei
9:00 - 9:15 am Closing liturgy

If it’s your first time, we’ll talk you through the procedure for zazen and the private sessions. The cost for this event is $5. Deep gratitude for your practice and support. We look forward to sitting with you.
