Winter Break
Daikozen-ji will be taking a month-long pause from in-person classes and daily morning and evening meditations for the month of February. During this time, we encourage students to continue their practice independently, maintaining the commitment and rhythm of training at home. For those interested, Chosei Zen will offer online resources and events; you can explore these at choseizen.org. This is a valuable opportunity to deepen self-guided practice and reconnect in new ways. We look forward to resuming our in-person offerings in March and to seeing everyone refreshed and ready to continue their journey.
