Everyone in our international community is welcome to join Zen River’s online program. But we ask new-comers, especially those who live in the Netherlands, to first attend some of our daily schedule in person—preferably during a Gyoji week which serves as an introductory course for the various elements of training we engage in. The online program is meant to support participants practicing at home what they have learned at Zen River, and is not seen as an independent approach in itself.
Online membership offers virtual participation in zazen, services, and study classes. A special Right Speech class is set up exclusively for online members. Online dokusan (private interview with Tenkei Roshi) can be arranged by appointment. All Dharma talks are recorded, so those members who are unable to join in real time can watch them later on the dedicated Zen River YouTube channel. The online membership schedule below shows when these activities occur.
