Meditation on Thursday

This weekly meditation program, held every Thursday, begins with chanting followed by two periods of silent sitting meditation, interspersed with brief periods of walking meditation. During the sitting periods you can have a chance to experience a one-on-one Kong-an (Jap: Koan) interview with the abbot Do Am Sunim. First-time participants are encouraged to come early (6:15 p.m.) and receive some brief meditation instructions before attending the full program.
