Beginner's Meditation workshop—An Introduction to Zen Buddhism

Join us for a practical, hands-on session designed to help you start and maintain a regular meditation practice—no matter your experience level. This workshop offers an approachable entry point into Zen Buddhism, making it ideal for beginners.

As part of the session, participants will receive a copy of "Introduction to Zen Training: A Physical Approach to Meditation and Mind-Body Training" by Omori Sogen—one of the foremost Zen teachers of the twentieth century. The book, a translation of Sanzen Nyumon, serves as a foundational guide for beginners in Zen practice. Omori Sogen Roshi was the dharma predecessor of Dogen Hosokawa Roshi, founder of Daiyuzenji.
