Dharma talks by Zen teachers are a traditional method of transmitting the heart and understanding of Buddha's Way. Everyone is welcome to attend. In 2024, public Dharma talks will be offered in the zendo rather than the Buddha Hall. Enter through the Laguna Street door.
Children are especially welcome to join! The first ten minutes of the Dharma talk will be geared towards young people. All children will then be invited to the Conference Center next door to participate in fun Buddha's Birthday activities for the remainder of the talk. Afterward, we will have our annual outdoor ceremony in Koshland Park and a party in the Conference Center. See this page for more details on Buddha's Birthday celebrations.
Before attending, please review the Health and Safety Requirements.
NOTE: Preceding the Dharma talk, from 10 - 10:15, there is a 15-minute period of gathering and settling to allow everyone to sign in on time and be prepared for the talk to begin.
