Dorje Chang Buddha III and Zen Temple guide lines. Twice per day oryoki meals will be served in the Zendo.. Oryoki, is a meditative practice from Zen Buddhism, it's a ritualistic way of eating, using bowls, implementing mindfulness while eating and promoting gratitude while consuming the food.

During retreats discourses by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III will be heard twice a day for about one hour each and 30 minute discussions will be held after each discourse or class.
If you have your own meditation cushion or oryoki bowls your welcome to bring them.
All rituals and temple guide lines will be taught orally in person before retreats start.
