This is a rigorous ritual designed to raise great compassionate vigor and determination. Zazen followed by chanting and bowing throughout the morning until we complete a total of 108 full bows. Come for part or the whole morning.
We will hold this in the Sodo, the big new building on the property that you see from the gate. Drive in and park, and come in to the building. Watch your step – it’s still rough and unfinished.
