The Great Way is not difficult

for those who have no preferences.

When love and hate are both absent

everything becomes clear and undisguised.

Make the smallest distinction, however,

and heaven and earth are set infintely apart

[Faith Mind Verses, Third Chinese Ancestor Jianzhi Sengcan]

Meeting Information:

Time	Every Wednesday at 7pm, please be seated by 6:55pm
Location	Unitarian Universalist Meetinghouse 1475 West Front Street, Lincroft, NJ

Beginners please arrive at 6:15pm for meditation instruction.

Our practice begins with a Buddhist service.  We sit zazen (seated meditation) for 25 minutes, and walk kinhin (walking meditation) for 10 minutes.  There are three sitting periods.

Zazen may be done in a chair or on a cushion and mat on the floor. While there are usually extra cushions and mats available, please bring your own if you have them.  Our teacher, Sensei Merle Kodo Boyd, often offers encouraging words during the second period of zazen.

The evening usually ends by 9:00pm.  We collect donations to give to the Meetinghouse in gratitude for use of their space.  

Our schedule occasionally varies around major holidays or very inclement weather. If you have any questions regarding our schedule or our practice, please email info@lincroftzen.org or call (732) 291-3987 or (732) 708-0103.

We look forward to practicing with you.
