Join us online for Zen meditation and a Dharma talk by Shoho Michael Newhall, Abbot Emeritus of Jikoji Zen Center, and teacher to our own Guiding Teacher, Ōshin Jennings.

Shoho Michael Newhall began practicing and studying with Kobun Chino Otogawa Roshi in the early seventies, and was ordained by Kobun in the mid-eighties. In the early nineties he was director at Jikoji Zen Center. Throughout this time he taught visual arts at various schools and universities, including Naropa University, where he also taught meditation and Buddhism. Since that time, Mike has lived at Jikoji, serving as the Resident Teacher and chief priest.

We will have 2 periods of Zen meditation (30 minutes each), followed by a Dharma talk.
