Pointers

• We encourage you to maintain silence throughout the all-day to the extent you are able.
• While you may attend either the morning or afternoon portion, you are encouraged to attend the full day.
• If you are unable to attend the all-day, you may still come for the teisho portion.
• Please review the procedures for Dokusan or Private Instruction before attending.
• Try to plan your meals in advance. Eat in silence if possible and, if you can, recite the meal chants.
• There is no fee for the sitting.
