Providing a wonderful opportunity for a small number of lay practitioners to live and study together, the residential program involves a one-year committment to sacred community and serious religious training under the guidance of Myotai Sensei and the MRO training staff. Residents receive an unusual chance to explore the dynamics of daily Zen training within their lives as lay practitioners. They support one another and the sangha through their daily engagement of the sitting schedule and their caretaking of the temple. During their residency they agree to follow the Karenji Code, which is based on the Buddhist precepts, and work intensively with the teacher. For further information regarding requirements for residency, training fees, and other details of the program, please contact the temple or discuss your interest with Myotai Sensei.
Applications are available at the temple.
