A quiet place for the practice of Zen
Toronto Zendo West is a small sitting group that meets on Tuesday evenings in Toronto’s west end.
We gather for zazenZazenzah-zenSeated meditation., teishoTeishotay-showA formal talk by the teacher., readings and dokusanDokusandoh-koo-sahnA private interview with the teacher. in a traditional practice setting. Our evenings are simple and mostly silent. The emphasis is not on discussion about Zen, but on sitting together and attending carefully to the practice itself.
The group is best suited to those who already have some familiarity with meditation and feel drawn toward a sustained Zen practice.
Toronto Zendo West is intentionally small. We welcome sincere inquiries, but we do not operate as a drop-in meditation class. New practitioners are welcome to read how to start.
