Open House
Every month (usually on the first Wednesday, but there are exceptions) the Cambridge Buddhist Association holds an Open House. It is an opportunity to stop by and get a glimpse of what formal Zen practice looks like. The schedule is as follows:
- 7:30 pm Opening
- 7:35 pm Zazen – seated meditation
- 7:50 pm Kinhin – walking meditation
- 7:55 pm Welcome talk – a brief introduction by the Abbot or a senior sangha member
- 8:10 pm Closing – followed by informal reception on the second floor with refreshments
During the social part of the evening visitors are encouraged to mingle with the sangha members, get acquainted, and ask questions. We will try to answer the questions as best as we can. This is a great opportunity for newcomers as well as seasoned individuals to check out the CBA Zazen-kai and Dharmacloud Hermitage.
