Blue Ridge Zen Group Blue Ridge Zen Group Our temple is in the Myoshin-ji lineage of Rinzai Zen, brought to this country in 1962 by Kyozan Joshu Sasaki Roshi. Our two ordained members are in that tradition, but members come from various backgrounds, and we are open to all. On weekdays, we have quiet sitting, often followed by informal discussion. On Sundays, in addition, we have tea, chanting, walking, and a short Dharma talk or reading.
Introductory instruction is available.
One to seven day retreats are held at our Zendo in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Newcomers are welcome. Meeting Time Mon.-Fri.
