Fall Practice Period

Ango Entering Activities

Saturday, September 19 — September 20

This season, we take up the theme of “The Life of a Bodhisattva,” reflecting on Master Dogen’s Four Methods of Guidance. Click here for more information about the Practice Period along with a commitment form that acts as a guide to this practice. We invite you to engage with the offerings of the season and investigate for yourself what it might mean to apply more vigor and dedication to your zazen and study.

 

 

The ZCLA Yard Sale

in the ZCLA Gardens

Saturday, October 24, 10am-5pm

Come one, come all for our first Yard Sale in many years, featuring books, household goods, furniture, ceramics, collectibles, vintage clothings, and so much more! There will also be music, refreshments, and tours of the grounds for first time visitors.
If you would like to contribute to the yard sale by donating your time or any items you wish to pass along, please follow this link. There you can find more information and let us know what you’ve got.

NOTE: The Yard Sale is a fundraiser for the Dharma Training Fund, a special program that helps those of limited means take part in any of our programs without finances being a barrier. Find out more at ZCLA.org/dharma-training-fund.

Note: Zoom Protocol

1. Develop Focus. Distraction is especially easy during online meetings. Bring the same intentionality to online meetings as you bring to the zendo. Consider ZCLA zoom events as if on the grounds of the Zen Center. Dress appropriately, wear rakusu if received jukai, don’t multitask and close other windows on the computer, and consider sitting for a few minutes before talks and events.

2. Practice mindful screen habits. Those zooming in need to be mindful of themselves on screen as their actions can disrupt the zoom session for others. Refrain from walking around with computer or phone, eating on screen, and other actions that may distract others. If you need to eat, take a break, use the bathroom or move around, please turn off your video.

3. Refrain from photos. Please do not screen shot or photograph ZCLA zoom meetings or share on social media.
