Weekly Schedule
If you are coming to the temple for
the first time, even if you have practiced any form of
meditation before, we ask that you contact the temple
and arrange for meditation instruction. It is very helpful for newcomers to become
familiar with our forms of meditation and what we teach
at the temple, as well as our morning and evening
ceremonial services.
Please wear comfortable, modest, loose-fitting clothing (no
shorts, skin-tight yoga pants, or t-shirts with logos) in quiet colors and avoid perfumes
and other strong fragrances.
Rev. Master Koshin Schomberg of North Cascades Buddhist Priory recorded a series of
meditation instruction videos. Newcomers will find it
especially helpful
