The Sodo is open every day from 5:30am to about 9:30pm for open sitting meditation, except Sundays, when it opens at 8:30am. During the morning, we have our regular morning program, which includes zazen and service. Three meals are served at 8am, 12:30pm, and 5:30pm for those who have signed up at least two hours in advance. Cost for meals is $5 breakfast, $10 lunch or dinner.
Please check in with the guestmaster for orientation when entering for the first time. There are silent areas and conversational areas, and some events will be held in the zendo (ordinarily a silent area). Bells will only announce meals and services. The day ends with formal tea about 9pm.
All are welcome to come and go as they need to. Please enter and leave quietly.
