Welcome to Single Flower!

Zen Practice

Single Flower

Welcome to the Single Flower Zen Center!

The practice of Zen in our tradition has four elements:

• Chanting: to invigorate the body with breath and learn the teachings at the same time
• Dharma Talk: a short talk on the Buddhadharma, or teachings of the Buddha. On Wednesdays, we engage in koans - questions designed to cut through discursive thinking
• Meditation: to tame the mind
• Vows: to set intention

Everyone is welcome, including beginners and the merely curious. Bring your questions, and come discover Zen.

There is no charge to practice with us on Mondays and Thursdays..We gratefully accept donations to cover our expenses.
