Clear Way Zen is a Buddhist community dedicated to the learning and practicing of the Buddha’s teachings. The Sangha is supported by members who, out of inspiration of the meditative practice of Zen, bring the twenty-five-hundred-year-old awakening teachings of the Buddha to life through themselves and the community. Our community is primarily based in Regina, Saskatchewan (Canada).
Our Sangha continues to host sittings in a hybrid format via Zoom and at the Knox-Metropolitan United Church (Regina, SK, Canada) every Saturday Morning at 10:30AM CST. Here is the Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/987103758?pwd=ZUhXTnNySnFzeGplM3BFc21xb2xGdz09
Please join the Zoom meeting a few minutes before the start time to check your audio and video connection and mingle with other members. We will start the sitting at exactly 10:30 AM Central Standard Time (Regina). As usual, we will begin with a 30 minute silent meditation followed by a Dharma talk. Please mute your mic once the bowing/sit begins and leave it muted until the conclusion of the Dharma talk.
