Myokoji Temple offers a meditation group for practicing silent meditation forms including zazen/shikantaza/shamatha, vipassana, and others. On the last Wednesday of the month we offer a guided meditation such as metta (lovingkindness). We intend to create a friendly and safe community to support your effort and intention to practice and cultivate your heartmind (bodhicitta).
This group is open to people of all spiritual traditions who have a genuine interest in learning and practicing meditation. The practice of meditation and the cultivation of “silent illumination" is a simple yet profound form of awakening, self-care and self-transformation. We are a “householder” sangha with ordinary lives. We practice in the less formal “family style” that Kobun encouraged later in his life. The group is led by Sanryu Jeffrey Compton, an ordained teacher in the Phoenix Cloud (Soto Zen) lineage of Ian Hakuryu Forsberg and Kobun Chino Otogawa Roshi.
Myokoji Temple is a 501(c)3 charitable organization. It exists entirely by the generosity of your donations and is open to people of all spiritual traditions & faiths. We ask that if you practice with us to not be under the influence of any mind altering substances, prescription or recreational.
We look forward to sitting with you.
