Sunday Mornings at Zen Mountain Monastery

Sunday Mornings at Zen Mountain Monastery is a morning of Zen practice beginning with a liturgy chanting service at 9am, followed by zazen, walking meditation (kinhin) and a talk by a teacher or senior student, concluding around 12:00pm, with a community lunch at the end. It is for returning visitors who have already received beginning instruction in meditation at the Monastery or at Fire Lotus Temple in Brooklyn. First-time visitors are instead asked to register for Beginning Instruction/Orientation to the Monastery, offered every other Sunday morning and on the 2nd Wednesday evening of each month. Participants should arrive by 8:45 am, enter through the front door and check in with the greeter.
