Introduction to Zen Meditation Are you new to Meditation, Zen Buddhism, or the Center?
MZMC offers a four-part Introduction to Zen Meditation each Sunday morning from 10 – 11 a.m. or Tuesday evening from 7:30 – 8:30 p.m. The class is offered simultaneously on Zoom and in person. In person attendees, please arrive 5-10 minutes before the class begins to help us get everyone oriented and settled in the classroom. If you are joining us by Zoom, we ask that you have your camera on and think of the experience as an interactive process.
To complete the series of four classes, join us any Sunday morning or Tuesday evening and then return the next three Sundays or the next three Tuesday evenings to complete the four-week cycle. The four parts are not sequential, so you may attend them in any order.
You are welcome to attend as many sessions as you like, but attend all four for the best overview. Each session includes meditation instruction and teaching on how meditation and Zen relate to daily life.
This is an ongoing, drop-in group that is open to the public. You do not need to register in advance. There is a recommended donation of $10.
