Category: Northern Light Zen Center General Interest

Sorry everyone, but extended practice for this Saturday the 28th has been canceled.

This years Buddha’s Birthday ceremony weekend was a special one for the Northern Light Zen Center.  We had Four, count em, Four people taking precepts this year!  Lisa, Sally and Pat took 5 precepts and Jay (me) took 10 precepts.  There were many other preceptees from other zen centers all over the country, it was a beautiful ceremony and a lovely day! Also this weekend marked the end of Kyol Che.  The 90 day retreat that takes place at the Diamond Hill Monastery. During this time our own Colin Fay did a 90 day solo retreat.  So this was a nice way to commemorate that as well.  Well Done everyone!

Yay!  After a little more than a year we have finally completed our dharma room.  It is beautiful! Check out the dharma room tab on the website here for a full complement of photos!  We are sitting there for our first retreat in our new room on the 27th of February.  We have some transitions to make as we get used to using the new room, some cleaning in adjacent rooms and removing some clutter.  But this is a huge step forward! The next big project may be putting in a small bathroom downstairs.  hmmmmm.

Greetings to all,

Short notice I realize but the extended practice for December 26th has been cancelled.  We will be putting out a new spring schedule soon and keep an eye out for retreats and other Kwan Um School events!  Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Greetings all,

Just a quick post to let folks know that this Saturday the 31st we will not be holding an extended practice.  (It’s Halloween!)  Apologies for any inconvenience.  Have a great weekend otherwise.
