Rinzai Zen in San Francisco

mumeiji-poster.jpg

I’ve been attending this zendo ever since moving to SF in 2003. We need some new blood. If the idea of sitting in silence—without moving—for 45 minutes at a time is something you might be into, please come check us out.

On weekdays we sit one period at 6:30 AM. On Saturdays we sit two periods, starting at 7:00 AM, followed by sanzen (koan interview), okyo (chanting), hitsuzendo (calligraphy with a large brush), and then coffee in the kitchen.

    I’m probably responding too late, but maybe I’ll see you there tomorrow morning?

    Does this place still exist? The phone number didn’t work.

    No, unfortunately it does not exist any longer. I think some of the members still sit together in Glen Park. There is also a small group in Berkeley. If you’re interested in either I can reach out to them for you.
