Beginners

Beginner’s Mind is highly regarded in Zen. Whether this is our first time in the zendo or the 3000th, we are always asked to cultivate Beginner’s Mind. 
​
Traditionally, newcomers to the zendo are invited to just follow along as best they are able, without a lot of instruction.  Soon, zendo etiquette is learned and embodied.  If you have questions, just ask.

We are happy to offer Zen meditation instruction to all newcomers who request it on Tuesday evenings during the first period of sitting. If you would like this, please let us know when you arrive. If we are sitting on Zoom, please email Dantika ahead of the session you plan to attend and let her know you would like meditation instructions: dantikapm@gmail.com

Beginning meditators are warmly welcome. It doesn’t matter what age you are or what spiritual or religious tradition you already practice. Meditation began long before the Buddha and flowers to this very day because of its proven benefits to the body-mind of those who practice it.
