Getting Started

Intro to Zen 5/2017

Anyone interested in exploring Zen practice at Kannon Do may simply attend any of the meditation sessions shown on the daily calendar. There is no need to make an appointment or call ahead. Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes.

The best time to come for the first time is currently on Saturday mornings from 9:00–9:20am.    One of the senior members will provide a brief tutorial on the posture and form of Zen meditation practiced at the center. 

A more in-depth introduction is provided during the Zen Discussion Group program.  These gatherings are held bi-weekly on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month.   This orientation includes a demonstration and discussion of the meditation posture, a tour of the center, and an opportunity to ask questions.

The weekly meditation schedule can be found here.
