What should I wear? - Wear whatever you're comfortable in. It's a little tough to sit in jeans or dress clothes, so sweats or athletic wear is just fine.
 
What do I need to know ahead of time? - We have a very simple service which is in a booklet, so you don't need to have any knowledge of Buddhism beforehand. 
 
What if I have questions? - Sensei Glenn, Deshi DeDe, Deshi Joe, or another experienced practitioner remain after practice for questions & conversation. Always feel free to ask any questions you have. 

When should I arrive? - Practice begins promptly at 9:30 am Sundays. We suggest arriving a few minutes early to say hello and get settled. Doors open 30 minutes before practice starts.
 
What does the practice/service include?
