RecommendedA wonderful practice place. I’ve been sitting there since 1970.
Schedule includes many opportunities to sit meditation every week. Saturday morning features a brief experience of typical monastic practice -- several periods of sitting meditation, walking meditation, formal eating in the meditation hall (oryoki), work period (soji), lecture and tea.
Heartfelt and thoughtful community. I've been coming here for a little over two years and I'm grateful for this oasis in the East Bay.
Berkeley Zen Center is a precious jewel in the Bay Area, offering many unique opportunities for practice. Almost every Saturday morning there is a half-day of practice that includes a delicious oryoki breakfast. Sesshins of various lengths are offered every month. The sangha is a diverse community of zen students and teachers who extend a warm welcome to all who are interested in practice or learning more about Buddhism, Zen or Berkeley Zen Center.
