Dogen Sangha Los Angeles

DSLA is a Soto Zen Buddhist group that practices «shikantaza» meditation (, and the only group that I sit with). It’s a simple practice, easily explained in five minutes. Anyone can do it. And it’s a practice tprofound enough to spend a lifetime on. The people are friendly and good-​natured, and do their best to welcome new folks. DSLA runs on donations, but the short mention of it is unobtrusive.
Come sit with is!

Great place to learn how to meditate. It is donation based and no one gets turned away for lack of funds. Usually sessions begin with some thorough instructions on both the physical and mental aspects of the meditation followed by a 30 minute sitting meditation. Sometimes a walking meditation will follow and then another period of sitting meditation. Class usually ends with a brief talk/Q&A and discussion about various meditation related topics.
