Links to our Friday/Saturday (depending on location) 'LIVE' Zazen sittings will be posted each week in this Forum. We have a 90-minute LIVE, WEEKLY group sitting EACH SATURDAY JAPAN TIME (with a longer 4-hour retreat on the FIRST SATURDAY JAPAN TIME of each month), led by Jundo (Hi!). If not possible for you to join 'live' in your location at the appointed times (see inside), FEAR NOT, as the entire sitting will be recorded in 'REAL TIME' and available for full participation 'ON DEMAND' at any time after that, no different from the 'live' sitting. (the links will be posted here).So, please join us as soon as you can, and we will keep a Zafu open for you... (Also, a Sunday Sit with Shugen and Washin)

A forum for the creative development of charitable and socially engaged projects and practices seeking to aid and assist our fellow sentient beings in this world.Please join in and do your part..

Welcome to our Book Club and Art Circle. In the Book Club, we travel through helpful books on Zen without getting lost in words. Our Art Circle is open to anyone who either practices an art-form, or who is seeking to develop an art-form, from traditional modes such as painting, sculpting and writing to video/filmmaking/animation, audio/music, digital, installation and more, centered on Soto Zen and Buddhist expression. No ranking or judgement, just a spirit of fun and sharing.
