Ango Morning Program
During the Fall Ango term (September 1 through December 13), we increase our zazen time by starting zazen an hour earlier. The service is modified from Full Morning Service, slightly shorter, and alternates between one chanting the Traditional Ancestral Line and another chanting the Line of Women Dharma Ancestors. Sanzen is offered on most Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
