Half-Day Sit

A half-day sit here is a single three-hour block of zazen (seated Zen meditation), held in person at the Fire Lotus Temple on October 24, 2026. The description frames the session around three threads: connecting with the still point, making space to find the heart-mind and body, and taking refuge — the traditional Buddhist act of orienting oneself toward the Buddha, the teachings, and the community. The center has not published a schedule for the three hours or named a teacher to lead it.

Cost is $35 for the session. The listing gives no arrival time, no breakdown of sitting periods or breaks, and no details about what to expect on-site — for those, check the signup page or contact the center directly.

The sit is explicitly open to people new to Zen practice as well as experienced students. At three hours, it is a short commitment by retreat standards, and a manageable first contact with formal practice at this temple if you are curious about it.
