The May 2019 training period at Tahoma Zen Monastery begins on Sunday May 5th. We will have a day of samu on Saturday, April 27th so that we may all work together to ready the monastery for this period of training. Samu is a natural extension of our training allowing us to freely move from work on the cushion to simple work with our hands, to the complex interactions of our daily lives. This day of samu will allow us to engage in this deep work and to share our efforts with the sangha. So please join us for any part of the work period that you can. A simple lunch will be provided after the samu period.
