Online Practice
The Zoom option has been suspended for the time being. We will revisit it again when we start our Winter 2027 sits.
Practice Session
Newcomers please arrive 10 minutes early for a brief orientation. We provide sitting gear: cushions, mats and support cushions.
Our practice session typically consists of:
Seated Meditation (25 minutes)
Walking Meditation (5 minutes)
Seated Meditation (20 minutes)
Chant
There might be a talk on a topic related to Zen and an opportunity for questions afterwards.
Our sits are intended for members of the UBC Community only - Students, Staff, Faculty and UNA residents. If you are not part of the UBC Community, there are a number of other organizations in Vancouver where you can explore your practice. Feel free to contact us if you need help in finding a suitable group.
