wednesday morning meditation

Every Wednesday morning at 7:50am Hokoji will be open for zazen. After seated meditation is a short walking meditation (kinhin). Chairs and cushions are available. The bell will ring promptly at 7;50am, at which time we will lock the zendo door to create a space for undisturbed meditation.

7:50am - Zazen (30 minutes)

8:20am - Kinhin (10 minutes)

All practitioners are welcome to join our Wednesday morning zazen, though newcomers are encouraged to attend our Thursday evening zazen first for instruction from our guiding teacher Ian. Thursday evening dharma discussion will also explore the ancient way as transmitted by Hokoji’s founding teacher.

Practitioners can themselves with basic etiquette and forms here.

In the event of heavy snow on a Wednesday, Hokoji will announce if the zendo will be closed.
