Zazen Meditation at Kenko-ji with Shunmyo Masuno
A public zazen sitting every Sunday from 7am to 8am (gates open 6:30am) in Kenko-ji's main hall, with a short dharma talk from head priest Shunmyo Masuno during the session; first-time participants must contact the temple in advance, and the session is paused around New Year, the spring and autumn equinox weeks, Obon in July and August, year-end, and Hanamatsuri.
“The garden is simply a reflection of who I am at this moment, shaped by my years of training. It is my alternate persona, a mirror that reflects my heart.”Shunmyō Masuno
