Sunday Zazen at Tofukuji (Daizendo Hall)

日曜坐禅会(東福寺・大禅堂)

Filed underAutumn leaves

Tofukuji holds an early-morning zazen session every Sunday in its Daizendo meditation hall, from 6:30 to 7:00 throughout the year (suspended on ceremonial days). Participants must be seated ten minutes before the start; wear loose clothing and avoid short skirts, tight trousers and hooded tops. A short outdoor dharma talk (Joraku Seppo, about 30–50 minutes) often follows. Check the temple's notices for the detailed schedule.
