Our zendo is looking better than ever with our new cushions purchased last year and our new carpet that was just replaced. Come join us!

We will be having new carpet installed in the Zendo this coming week and therefore will be closed on Wednesday and Saturday (Feb 20th & 23rd). Come join us and enjoy the sight of fresh clean carpet during your zazen!

Sorry for the late notice. Something has come up for our members and there is no one available with a key to open. We will be open tomorrow morning.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but the Zendo will be closed today and tomorrow (1/12 and 1/13) due to approaching snow.

We extend our best intentions and gratitude to our members who will be traveling to Endless Mountain Zendo to join their Rohatsu Sesshin January 11th-19th. We will maintain our usual schedule at BHZ and look forward to the mindful energy our members will bring back to us.

Come start the new year with us in meditation. We will have two sitting periods with walking meditation between on New Year’s Day 9:30-11am.

Burning House Zendo would like to wish everyone a happy Rohatsu. Unfortunately, us to conflicting schedules, we will be observing Rohatsu together with only our routine service schedule. We are exploring observing Rohatsu with possible increased sits in January.

As another dorm of support an encouragement for our practice, many of our members have challenged each other to commit to 60 days days of daily Zazen and are tracking each other and offering encouragement on the Insight Timer app. You can find our group in the search feature of the app. You can find the app at insighttimer.com.

To commemorate the passing of our dear Dharma friend Hoin, we will offer a weekend sesshin on March 23rd through March 25th. Hoin was tremendously important to the sangha and we are approaching the first anniversary of his death.

At 11AM on the last day of sesshin, March 25th, we’ll offer an hour memorial service with friends and family. Those coming for the memorial service are asked to arrive by 10:45 AM.

Fee for Saturday lunch: $10 (pay to Burning House Zendo), otherwise attendance is free if no lunch is consumed.

RSVP is required for both full attendance or partial attendance. E-mail classes@burninghousezendo.org to RSVP.
