We typically start with a short service, followed by a Dharma talk, and then Chan (Zen) sitting meditation. There will be explanations of the important principles to practice, and at times we will read some sutras, or poems and writings by the Chan Patriarchs to understand the Zen teachings from different angles.
Come share in tea tasting with us as well!
