Sundays at Jikoji
* At Jikoji & on Zoom *
Our Sunday Program is a weekly "open house" and a great way to get to know Jikoji and become familiar with Zen practice. Each week, community members and newcomers join us from the Bay Area for sitting meditation, dharma talk, social lunch, and a sense of community (sangha). Please come, and invite your family and friends to join us!
Most guests participate in the Practice Schedule and stay for lunch, our community building is open during this time, and there are opportunities for hiking the many Open Space trails in the area. We look forward to sharing the Dharma with you.
MEDITATION INSTRUCTION IS AVAILABLE AT 9.45 A.M.*
*Due to the limited size of our zendo, we have only 20 seats available for meditation instruction, offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
*Late arrivals may be prohibited from entry once the introductory session has begun.
