THURSDAY EVENING PROGRAM

This is our central weekly practice and community meeting. The usual pattern is:

  • 1st Thursday of the month: Precepts Ceremony.
  • 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Thursdays of the month: Regular Schedule (see below).

Most evenings begin with zazen (sitting meditation) and include kinhin (walking meditation), bowing and chanting service, Dharma Talk and discussion.

During our annual Winter Practice Period Schedule the schedule emphasizes meditation more strongly.

Location: In-person at BUF and online via Zoom - see our Zendo page for details.

Dokusan (private interviews with the teachers) will be available in both places - an announcement will be made at the beginning of the program on how to request a session. Learn more about dokusan.

Orientation: If you're new to Zen or our community, we're happy to offer an orientation to the program (when and how to do what). Just email orientation@redcedarzen.org. It's also perfectly fine to just show up, pick someone, and do what they do. 

Regular Schedule:
6:50pm han (sounding board) begins
7:00pm zazen (sitting meditation)
7:30pm kinhin (walking meditation)
7:40pm service (chanting and bowing)
8:00pm dharma talk by Guiding Teacher Nomon Tim Burnett and others
8:40pm discussion
8:55pm refuge chant
9:00pm close

Printable Chant Books covering all chants done at Red Cedar events are available here.
