Selfless service is love in action. At FCM, our practice doesn’t end on the cushion — it continues in the kitchen, in the garden, in the meditation hall, and in every quiet act of care for one another.
Cooking. Cleaning. Organizing. Supporting.
Each offering, given freely, strengthens our Sangha and nourishes the path for all.
Serving the Sangha is serving awakening. 💛

Grateful for everyone who shows up with open hands and open hearts.

Day of Mindfulness Feb 14, 2026

This Half-Day of Mindfulness was a chance for all of us to put down the busyness of our lives and to relax, refresh, and renew with the healing energy of mindfulness. The day is an opportunity to experiment with letting go of our stories and dramas about our lives and the world. Instead we will practice simply be present to, and nourished by, our actual experience in the present moment.

Roshis Chozen and Hogen Bays of the Great Vow Zen Monastery of Oregon led a four-day silent retreat, "Cultivating the Silent Mind in the Midst of Impermanence.".

The Buddha taught that the truths of annica (impermanence) and annata (no fixed self) are deeply intertwined. The purpose of meditative practice is to directly awaken to these truths of Dharma within ourselves. When we open the gate to awakening in this very personal and intimate way, we can now walk freely and openly through the world.

In this four-day silent retreat, drawing upon their many decades of Zen practice and teaching, the Roshis shared practical and effective methods for quieting our busy minds. With this alert, clear and concentrated mind, participants were guided to experience these transformative Dharma truths of impermanence and non-self.
