Samu is work practice: attention in the midst of activity. We meet from 8 a.m. – 11 a.m. for a morning of zazen and mindful labor conducted in silence; the morning also includes a tea ceremony and sometimes a meal eaten in the traditional Zen style of oryoki.
Sit and Seva is a practice of caring for our temple as a community. We start with a round of zazen, then receive work assignments and join together to clean and maintain the building and grounds. Once a quarter we include our children, and have Family Sit and Seva.
Sangha workdays are more informal than samu or seva, with members and guests gathering for zazen and joyful work inside and outside the temple.
