Upon entering the online zendo, microphones will be muted. Please remain muted during the sitting, but do turn up your volume to clearly hear bells and announcements.
For sittings, arrange your seat in a quiet place preferably facing the wall or other blank surface. Sit side-on to (not facing) your camera
Consider where to do walking meditation. If there’s little space then pace back and forth in a line or walk slowly around your seat; you may also simply stand or stretch off-camera.
Position your camera so we can see you sitting and, if possible, walking with us.
Setting up an altar with an inspiring figure or picture is nice, but not required. Light incense, if desired.
There is no fee for participating. Louisville Zen Center operates as much as possible on dana (or giving). We suggest non-members give about $5 - $10 when attending but any contribution, large or small, will be much appreciated. No one is EVER turned away for lack of payment. To make an ongoing commitment while supporting the mission of the Center, please consider membership.
