Half Day Sits: A Deeper Soak in Reality

Starting March 4th Mid City Zen will have half-day sittings from 8-Noon on the first Sunday of every month. There is no registration required and no fees. Beginners are welcome as the first sit will be a guided period of zazen instruction. We will alternate between 30 minutes of sitting (zazen) and 5 minutes of walking (kinhin) with the usual Sunday ceremony at 10:35am. We will maintain silence and there will not be the usual coffeetalk time. You may participate in as much or as little of it as you wish.

Happy Mardi Gras!

I can feel the spirit of Mardi Gras... It is definitely here!  Today on my way home from uptown, I had to wait for the Endymion floats to roll out of the warehouse and onto Jeff Davis.  I had a rush of excitement...

As for the zendo, here is our schedule this week and next:
Thursday- No Zazen or Dharma Talk
Friday- no Zazen

Yes, we will have our Sunday Zazen on the 19th!  Same time: 9:30 and 10:05

We will be closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Lundi Gras, Mardi Gras and Ash Wednesday)
We will resume the normal schedule with Thursday evening Zazen and Dharma talk on the 23rd.

Enjoy the parades and festivities!
