What's Next?
If you have already attended our Zen Meditation Instruction class you may be wondering what to do next. Here are some pointers to help you take that next step.
- Watch our video on how to do Zen meditation, or zazen.
- Check out our videos on meditation hall form and the chanting service that takes place on Sunday mornings.
- Look at becoming a member of Yokoji. This is a great way to support the center and it gets you reduced rates on sesshin and overnight stays.
- Get more information about Zen retreats, or sesshin, and check the event listings to find one that you can attend. We also run a Beginner's Mind Sesshin once or twice a year, and these provide a great stepping stone between the Day of Zen Practice and longer retreats.
- Check out our recommended reading list if you are interested in learning more about Zen and meditation practice.
- The most important thing to do when starting Zen practice is to actually do it! We have some tips on practicing at home which you may find helpful.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the office and we will be glad to help you.
One of the best ways to stay in touch with what is happening at Yokoji is to subscribe to our monthly email newsletter.
