Dear Sangha,

Our normal "in person" schedule was suspended in response to the pandemic and in its place we have been holding a series of "virtual" or "distance" group sittings and retreats which can be participated in by phone or computer. 

Our weekly "virtual" group sittings are currently on Saturday mornings from 8:30- 9:45 am, and on Tuesday evenings with zazen from 6:30- 7:30 pm followed by a short Dharma discussion. 

To log in to any of our meetings please request a link or dial in number by contacting us via our Contact page on this site. Generally speaking, a computer connection will provide the best sound quality but a cell phone connection has been satisfactory for many participants.

Any practitioner can participate in all or part(s) of these practice periods but please try to be quiet during zazen. Please turn your phone or computer onto "mute", and don't introduce yourself if practice has already started. The schedule for retreats  can be found in the footer below. If you need a copy of our current set of "virtual" Sutras please email dharman_shakya@yahoo.com.

Our "virtual" December Retreat will be held on December 15- 17, and its schedule is on the footer below. If you would like to participate in all or parts of it please let us know via our contact page.  

Looking forward to Dharma practice with you,

Dharman for CSangha
