Winter Training, Parinirvana Day, Fusatsu, and the Nothing Hidden Week-long Retreat

We'll continue sitting our full sesshin (meditation retreat) schedule on weekdays until February 28. To mark the end of our winter training period, we'll have a week-long retreat from Sunday, February 21 at 7:30pm to Sunday, February 28 at noon. Our observance of Parinirvana Day begins at 8:30am on Saturday, February 13. And please join us for Fusatsu on Saturday, February 27 at 7:00pm. Check our schedule page for all the details and please contact us for more information or to register for sesshin.

We offer two classes on Buddhism, Zen meditation and the form of pratice at the Hazy Moon. Our Zen Meditation Instruction (ZMI) class is held most Saturdays at 8:30am and includes an overview of our teaching lineage and an introduction to the essentials of zazen. Our Zen and Practice (ZAP) class meets once a month on a Saturday and comprises further meditation instruction and a primer on sesshins, ceremonies and sangha life at the Hazy Moon. Visit our Classes and Programs page for more information, including class schedules. 

We're pleased to offer a collection of video and audio recordings of talks by our teacher, Nyogen Roshi. Visit our page on YouTube or click here for a complete archive of Roshi's words on the essentials of Buddhism and Zen practice.
