EVERYONE IS WELCOME! However, if you are very new to Zen or sitting practice, we strongly suggest you arrive 45 min before the start time for brief prior orientation with a senior sangha member or teacher. If you are attending by Zoom you can arrange a Zoom orientation by emailing info@mountainrainzen.org
Please join sittings ten minutes before the scheduled time, so as to be seated and settled in a quiet place before the period of zazen begins. However, please don’t hesitate to join in if you are late. Just make sure your microphone is muted.
Please mute your microphone during zazen. You will turn it on again when we have a talking circle or for chanting service.
Face the wall/Face in: Please turn you camera away from your face, toward a wall or your altar, or turn off your video during the zazen periods. This will reduce visual distraction for yourself and others. During dharma talks or talking circles please turn the camera to face you.
Newcomers: If you are new to practice and would like basic zazen meditation instructions please contact info@mountainrainzen.org and one of our practice leaders will arrange a time to give you an orientation in person (usually before or during a Wed. or Sun. session), or by Zoom if you cannot attend the zendo.
ZOOM LINKS for the full week’s schedule are below. Note: This is a list of our regular weekly practice sessions. Other events may also be offered on Zoom - check Events postings for those links. Please scroll to the end for the numbers to join any of the sessions by phone.
