Meditation evenings

Regular meditation evenings with dokusan are held on Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9 pm, during which there are four 25 minute periods of meditation interspersed with five minutes of walking meditation.

Meditation periods are observed in silence. Meetings conclude with the reciting of the Four Great Vows and general conversation.

Dokusan is the term used for student's one to one contact with an authorised Zen Teacher and is an integral part of Zen practice. Having access to the guidance of a Zen Teacher provides opportunity for serious Zen practice to develop.

Interview with the presiding teacher is offered to newcomers as required if there is time available after dokusan.
