We follow the path of Soto Zen. Zazen, zendo forms and practice discussion or dokusan are supported in our daily practice schedule. The Saturday morning program is ideal for beginners to start. Dharma talks generally occur on Saturday mornings or as special events found in our calendar. Ceremonies (including ordinations), sesshins and periods when classes are offered are listed also in the calendar. Classes are described on the classes page. Lay or priest ordination and priest training are offered by agreement with the head teacher. Opportunities for study and research are offered in our library. Training for zendo roles can be arranged through the ino. Work periods are offered during sesshins and during special work periods listed in the calendar. There are also ample opportunities to contribute to the Zen Center as a volunteer or by assuming membership in the Zen Center. There are many social events at Zen Center, sometimes spontaneously, like sharing in cooking and eating breakfast after morning zazen.
