The Study Group program includes Zazen (sitting meditation) and group discussion. Discussion is usually focused on a particular text or topic. We use a wide range of Buddhist subject matter from many traditions, and we cover the same material on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings.
Study Group Schedule Tuesday, 7:00pm – 8:30pm Saturday, 8:00am – 8:50am
