Zen practice at Myokoji

We offer weekly meditation practice on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-7:45pm. These periods include 40 minutes of silent meditation followed by a short ceremony, chanting, teaching or practice discussion and socializing. Usually on the last Wednesday of the month there is a guided Metta meditation.

Please plan to arrive prior to 6:30pm so you have time to get situated. Virtual zendo etiquette is camera on, microphone off. Please maintain noble silence until after the meditation. Zoom meetings are recorded.

Myokoji is a Soto Zen temple founded by Jeffrey Sanryu Compton and is in the Phoenix Cloud lineage of Kobun Chino Otogawa Roshi and Ian Hakuryu Forsberg. We are a “family practice” lineage with the freedom to practice within one’s physical and mental abilities. We practice deeply with no pressure to “accomplish” anything. It is a simple, spontaneous, authentic and sincere approach to what Kobun called ‘ceaseless practice’.

New to meditation or rusty? It's never too late to start or get back to your practice. Jeffrey \(Sanryu\) will be happy to meet with you and provide instruction before the meeting if you contact him and arrange it ahead of time. He can be reached at [email protected].
