Morning Practice

Monday Night Zazen
Start your day with Zen! We are now sitting online for thirty minutes every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 6:30-7:00am Eastern Time. You are warmly invited to join! We simply open with a bow and the Verse of Purification, sit in silence for 30 minutes, and close with the Four Vows, Metta, and wishes for a good day. It is a lovely way to formalize a morning ritual. You might want to set up a dedicated sitting space with flowers, a candle, or anything else that supports your practice. As with all FSZ offerings, it is donation-based.
