Dharma Talks

A dharma talk by one of our two teachers or by a guest teacher, is given on Tuesday evenings (our primary sitting of the week), as well as at zazenkai (all day sittings) and sesshin (retreats).  All recent dharma talks are available to members online in streaming version or as a possible download.

The talks are listed, and can be a further source of teaching for practitioners as they cover a wide range of Zen topics.

Shorter talks, which we call Words of Encouragement, are given by senior students from time to time on a Tuesday evening or on Sunday, and, on many sundays, one of our teachers also gives Words of Encouragement, some of which are excerpts, along with some commentary, from the ancient teachings as well as from modern masters.

When listening to a talk in the zendo, please face the speaker and remain, if possible, as close to zazen position as possible  If you are in the back row, adjust your position slightly, if necessary, to enable you to see the speaker.
