Kannon Do welcomes Ando Jaune Evans to lead us in our Saturday morning program.  Jaune is a priest and senior teacher at the Bay Area Everyday Zen Foundation. This morning of mindfulness offers a rare opportunity to turn our awareness to the simple activities that sustain our lives: breathing, walking, eating, and being attentive to the workings of our mind. We encourage you attend the entire morning, however you are welcome to take part in any of our morning activities as your schedule permits. In addition to our normal Saturday schedule, Jaune will offer dokusan (private, individual practice discussions) during periods of zazen as well as a dharma talk at 10:30 am.

The schedule is as follows:

•      Zazen:  5:30 – 6:10am
•      Kinhin: 6:10 – 6:20am
•      Zazen: 6:20 – 7:00am
•      Service: 7:00 – 7:30am
•      Breakfast: 7:30 – 8:10am
