Appreciation is a place of practice. We celebrate our dear friend and visiting teacher marvelous and important new children’s book “Kind Karl: A Little Crocodile with Big Feelings,” by our friends what a joy to experience this playful and meaningful. Enjoy this book as an adult and or with young people you care for.

Celebration is a place of practice. Tonight as we moved from 2025 to 2026, we joined with 200 sangha members to pause, make vows, remember the dead and the living and to set out onwards together to live wide awake. 2025 was such a rich practice year of the maturing of our sangha, Board and offerings. So much to appreciate and so much to continue to practice together. Onwards together with all beings! May compassion and wisdom guide us all.

New Podcast 🎧 Skillful Means in a Comfort Obsessed World

What if your practice wasn’t about self-improvement but about opening the door of Buddha wisdom for all beings?

Drawing on Chapter Two of the Lotus Sutra, Koshin Sensei explores skillful means, our many capacities, and the confusion that comes from clinging to comfort or trying to please everyone.

Gratitude is a place of practice. Twenty five sangha members offered deep gratitude to Shakyamuni Buddha in honoring his awakening and deciding to feel his fear and continue on like an immovable stone. We are so grateful to Shakyamuni Buddha and Dogen Zenji. Together we engaged intensive practice commemorating the awakening of Shakyamuni Buddha (Jodo-e, or realization of the way)! The schedule consisted of 15 periods of zazen, kinhin, and dokusan followed by two ceremonies: Jodo-e Kenshuku (Porridge Offering Ceremony after Rohatsu) and Rohatsu Shosan (Dharma Combat with the Guiding Teacher: Convocation Upon Completion of Rohatsu). All are always welcome!
