WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS To Visit JIKOJI

An Invitation from Nenzen Sensei
There is a distinct quality of peace found only when we sit together. Our Sunday Program is more than just a visit; it is an invitation to receive the Treasure of Sangha — the living community of practitioners who support, challenge, and mirror our own path to awakening within a shared container of practice.
Only on Sunday mornings do we offer beginning meditation instruction, a Dharma Talk from our teachers, and social time for connection.
We warmly invite you to join us — to share the insights and experience within the warmth of a community that values your presence.
