The Buddha and sangha would gather under the full moon to see each other in the darkness and renew their ethical vows. The moon represents enlightenment in Chinese and Japanese Buddhism: a gentle, silent, and unbroken illumination.
Ancestral Moon is a weekly refuge where BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, including those of Latinx and Asian descent) can explore Zen practice as the path of liberation from suffering. We come together to practice zazen (seated meditation), to connect with our individual and collective ancestral wisdom, and to cultivate spiritual friendship. We are rooted in the Soto Zen lineage and open to people of all faith and ritual practices.
We meet on Wednesday evenings at the Millerton Zendo through November 29 (except November 22). Each meeting includes zazen (seated meditation) and a group dharma share.
Request to join the email list for the group here.
We rely on donations for all we do, and invite you to support our practice and teachers:
COVID Protocol: We ask that all participants be fully vaccinated and boosted. Masks are optional. Please see the BZC Covid Protocol for more.
Our Location: Millerton Zendo, 1 John Street, Millerton, NY. Parking is available behind the building.
