This class meets once each month and includes a full morning following ZCLA's schedule. An instructor first meets with participants to review any questions that have come up since the Intro class, and to provide instruction and review on forms and etiquette in the Zendo. Students then join morning service and follow the Day of Reflection schedule, which focuses on working with the Zen precepts. In the Zendo, class participants are invited to meet privately with a Zen Center teacher to discuss their practice and any questions they may have. Following morning sitting and a snack, we participate in Council, in which we reflect and share together on one of the Zen precepts. Thus, this class exposes students beyond the basic practice of zazen to service, Face-to- Face working with a teacher, precept practice and Council practice. Following the Council, there is time to ask questions of the instructor before the class concludes.
